Interactive Program Package ANA for System Analysis and Control Design

Abstract The work contains a brief description of an interactive program package ANA which can be used as a tool for analysis and design of system control. It is designed for linear, time invariant, univariable or multivariable, continuous or discrete systems. It can be of great help in all steps of control design. The usefulness of the package is shown especially through the great interactiveness of programming which enables fast and simple work for different users which are familiar with system theory. For communication the simplest dialogues are used but they are not tedious and time consuming for experienced users because indirect running (BATCH) of the package is possible to repeat the whole design procedure with changed parameters or to repeat a part of the procedure and then proceed in direct way. Program package is built modularly so that its development is easy. All programs are written in program language FORTRAN-IV what enables simple transfer of the package to different computer configurations. In the future some additional extensions are foreseen like introducing digital simulation language in the package and some other approaches to the controller design. This will ensure greater capabilities of the package also in the sense of nonlinear systems treatment.
