Tuning
Tuning affects the response and stability of the servo-control loop.
Proper tuning improves the performance of the system.
Note Precise tuning is not necessary. A good tuning adjustment is one
that produces near-optimal behavior over a wide variety of
conditions.
• Each control mode uses a different sensor feedback signal for
servo-loop control. Each control mode must be tuned.
• Tuning optimizes test performance by minimizing the system error
in the selected control mode.
