Interactive Control Design Dialog Box

Requires: Control Design and Simulation Module

When the CD Interactive Control Design VI executes, this dialog box displays. You also can double-click the SISO Controller function to display its configuration dialog box, and then select the Interactive Design parameter to view this interface.

Use this dialog box to interactively design and analyze a controller before you generate the controller. This dialog box contains the following components:

• Configuration—Load and configure models to include in the system model. Details
• Synthesis—Set properties of the controller, such as gain. Details
• Specifications—Define constraints for the system that the controller must meet and verify the controller can meet each constraint. Details
• Analysis—Analyze the time or frequency response of the controller in custom graphs. Details
• Show Analysis—Shows or hides the graphs on the Analysis tab without opening that tab. This option allows you to analyze the controller while you configure it with options on the Synthesis or Specifications tabs.
• Stable—Is TRUE if the resulting closed-loop system with the controller you create is stable. Is FALSE and reads Unstable if the system is unstable.
• In Spec—Is TRUE if the system meets all the constraints you set on the Specifications page. Is FALSE and reads Not in Spec if the system fails to meet one or more constraints.
