Abstract
A method and apparatus create a general framework for representing and manipulating control systems having a plurality of SISO feedback loops or, more generally, SISO 'compensators' to be designed or tuned. A graphical user interface (GUI) design tool can include graphical interfaces, such as editors, which users can utilize to modify such variables as gain and other dynamics of each SISO compensator. Changes made to one SISO compensator generate different outputs, which are automatically translated to the other SISO compensators of the DSCS. There is a linking of interfaces and/or editors, such that changes made in one that affect another are automatically displayed accordingly. Such an arrangement provides for performance measuring views that provide real-time visual feedback on the effect of modified parameters on global performance. Different configuration tools can be utilized in conjunction with the present invention to enable a user to experiment with different design scenarios and compare results.
