PID Auto-tune in LW/CVI

[abraxas1]

i just ordered the PID package for Labwindows but i get the feeling the Auto-Tune routine is only for Visual Basic. if so, does anyone know of a source of Auto-Tune routines for Labwindows or C code in general?
thanks much,

Yes, the Auto-tuning feature of the ComponentWorks PID control is unique to it.

You will need to use the pid_tune function from the PID Control instrument driver in CVI to obtain similar functionality. If you look at some of the examples that come with the PID Control library you can see how it is used in these cases. If you need more information about how to set up your PID tuning parameters in CVI you might want to read through the manual found at the following link:
