Abstract
A velocity adaptive method for testing the control of dynamic devices of a system having a position schedule influenced by a dynamic factor is disclosed. The method includes the steps of introducing a step into the position schedule and causing a disturbance in the system; maintaining the step for an interval of time; removing the step; calculating step response by the system while accounting for the dynamic factor; and comparing the step response to a threshold value for determining one of the failure and successful operation of the control.
