Yaw damper is a function, not a piece of equipment

Dani - I agree with you completely. Also note that where older airplanes tended to have specific equipment called yaw dampers as that was its sole task, more highly augmented airplanes have combined the task of damping Dutch Roll with other control law functionality. In that case, the equipment providing the full range of augmentation is probably not called a yaw damper.
