Q1 : What is the effect of increasing the controller gain on the settling time and the
system overshoot ?

- As the controller gain increases, the rise-time decreases, the settling time decreases, and the
percent overshoot increases.

Q2 : What is the MATLAB toolbox that is used for the identification process ?

- Ident toolbox is used for the identification process.

Q3 : What is the best order selection of the system in your experiment and explain why?

-As I need to conciliation between best fitting percentage and lowest order, 1st order has low
fitting percentage, 2nd order has high fitting percentage, 3rd order has the highest fitting
percentage but to make a design I need to clear one pole so the system becomes more
complex for designing. So 2nd order is the best order selection.

Q4 : What is the effect of increasing the sampling time on the poles locations ?
-As the sampling time increases the poles moves towards origin point.

Q5 : What is the function of the data acquistion card in the real-time experimental
setup ?

-Data acquisition card acts as an interface with the continuous system, it contains the D/A and
A/D converters that fixes the sampling time and connects our digital controller MATLAB
with our external experiment.
