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 acquisition 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.
