An Object-Based Software Package for Interactive Control System Design and Analysis

Ch is an embeddable C/C11 interpreter. It was developed to allow software developers to use one language, anywhere and everywhere, for any programming task. Ch supports C99, a latest C standard ratified in 1999, and contains salient features for two and three dimensional plotting and numerical computing for ap-plications in engineering and science. Developed in Ch, Ch Con-trol System Toolkit provides a control class with member functions for object-based interactive modeling, analysis, and design of lin-ear time-invariant control systems. The software package, avail-able for downloading on the web, has been widely used in indus-try to solve practical engineering problems and in universities for instructional improvement. The design and implementation of Ch Control System Toolkit are described in this paper. Two applica-tion examples of control system design and analysis using Ch Control System Toolkit demonstrate its power and simplicity
