Owning Palette: Control Design VIs and Functions

Requires: Control Design and Simulation Module. This topic might not match its corresponding palette in LabVIEW depending on your operating system, licensed product(s), and target.

Use the Dynamic Characteristics VIs to calculate properties related to the dynamics of a given system model. Dynamic characteristics include DC gain, stability, norm, root locus, and pole-zero analysis.

The VIs on this palette can return general LabVIEW error codes or specific control design error codes.

Palette ObjectDescription
CD Covariance ResponseReturns the covariance of the outputs and/or states when Gaussian white noise excites the input model. Wire data to the State-Space Model input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
CD Damping Ratio and Natural FrequencyGives the damping ratios and natural frequencies for each pole of the input system. Wire data to the State-Space Model input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
CD DC GainCalculates the DC gain, or the ratio of the outputs to the inputs of a system, after all the transients decay. Wire data to the model input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
CD Distribute DelayDistributes the total delay of a system into input, output, and transport delays such that the transport delays are minimal. This VI allocates the majority of the delays as input or output delays. The remaining delays become transport delays. Wire data to the State-Space Model input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
CD NormCalculates the infinity-norm and 2-norm of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. The 2-norm is infinite for unstable systems and for state-space systems whose D matrix is not equal to zero. The remaining delays become transport delays. Wire data to the State-Space Model input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
CD Pole-Zero MapPlots the poles and zeros of a system model on an XY graph that represents a complex plane. You can display this data in the CD Pole-Zero S Grid or CD Pole-Zero Z Grid indicator. Wire data to the State-Space Model input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
CD PolesReturns the model poles. Wire data to the State-Space Model input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
CD Root LocusPlots the Evans plot or trajectory of closed-loop poles of a single-input single-output (SISO) system as the feedback gain varies from zero to infinity. You can display this data in a root locus graph indicator. Wire data to the State-Space Model input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

CD StabilityDetermines if the input system or poles are stable, unstable, or marginally stable. Wire data to the State-Space Model input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
CD Total DelayAdds all the delays between each input and output pair and returns the total time delay. The total time delay includes the input, output, and transport delays. Wire data to the State-Space Model input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
CD ZerosReturns the locations of the model zeros. Wire data to the State-Space Model input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
