Programmatic Tuning

Tune control systems at the command line

You can tune control systems at the command line using the systune command. To do so, either:

  • Model your system in MATLAB® using Control Design Blocks for the tunable controller elements.

  • Model your system in Simulink®, and use the slTuner interface to configure your model for tuning (requires Simulink Control Design™ software).

The library of tuning goals lets you capture high-level design requirements in a form suitable for fast automated tuning. This library includes standard control objectives such as reference tracking, disturbance rejection, loop shapes, closed-loop damping, and stability margins.
