An experimental setup for teaching dynamic systems

In this work an experimental tool is presented for teaching the most important features of continuous n-dimensional linear time-invariant dynamic systems. This tool consists of a combination of analog/digital electronics hardware and software. An analog electronics-based dynamic system is used as the experimental plant to be studied. A free Linux-based real-time software is used to implement a linear observer and a linear state feedback. The digital set up is composed by the mentioned real-time software, a commercial data acquisition board and a personal computer. Experimental results are presented.
