Q1 : What is the effect of increasing the controller gain on the settling time and
the system overshoot ?
●As the gain to a system increases, the rise-time decreases, the percent
overshoot increases, and the settling time decreases.
Q2 : What is the MATLAB toolbox that is used for the identification process ?
●"Ident"
Q3 : What is the best order selection of the system in your experiment and
explain why?
●2nd order, because I need to compromise 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 neglect one pole so the system becomes more complex for designing
Q4 : What is the effect of increasing the sampling time on the poles locations ?
●Increasing sampling time makes poles get closer to origin (move to origin).

Q5 : What is the function of the data acquisition card in the real-time

experimental setup ?
●acts as an interface with the continuous system, as it contains the D/A and A/D
converters that fixes the sampling time and connects our digital controller
(MATLAB) with our external experiment.
