Trick for this month:

Performing loop?

To determine if tuning parameters are performing, we can use many criteria and many performance indices.

Also, many tools are used to measure and evaluate performance :

-Statistical analysis

If a loop is properly tuned and performing, the distribution will look like a bell curve (normal law); also standard deviation should be small.

-Autocorrelation

Autocorrélation corresponds to the closed loop impulse response. If performing, then the curve will enter quickly inside he confidence limits (settling time).

-Power spectral densit

The frequency content of a performing loop will be uniform and amplitudes will be small. This is like white noise (all frequencies have the same energy); the PSD will look like grass.
