Abstract
A method includes: initializing first and second variables; operating equipment based on the variables; measuring first and second parameters; determining a new value for the first variable based on the first parameter, and calculating a new value for the second variable based on the second parameter and the current value of the second variable; and repeating the operating, measuring, determining and calculating. According to a different aspect, an apparatus includes a computer-readable medium storing a computer program. When executed, the program causes: initializing of first and second variables; operating equipment based on the variables; receiving measured first and second parameters; determining a new value for the first variable based on the first parameter, and calculating a new value for the second variable based on the second parameter and the current value of the second variable; and repeating the operating, measuring, determining and calculating.
