Abstract

This thesis outlines the design philosophy and implementation aspects of a new interactive CAD tool implemented in BASIC language on an IBM PC/AT computer for single input single output (SISO) digital control systems. The direct Digital Control design method presented is classical in nature. The program main features are: (1) The use of Modified z-transform to model the effects of transport delay due to control computation time. (2) The use of windows on a split screen to allow the designer observation of the closed-loop step response while systematically shaping a root locus or synthesizing closed-loop pole/zero patterns. (3) Display of system response in between sampling instants.
