Controller
Implementation
|
Easy input via dialog boxes for continuous and discrete time linear forms (PD, PID, PID+filter, high order dynamic filters, state feedback, & more) or construct arbitrary linear forms to 47 terms. User-selectable sample rates from 1 Hz - 1.1 kHz. |
Generate real-time algorithms - fully general forms supported. Real-time routine is "auto-compiled" & implemented on DSP board. User-selectable sample rates from 1 Hz - 1.1 kHz. |
Construct controller using Simulink® block diagrams, (I/O routed via RTLT). Ability to tune control parameters on-line. |
|
