Simulation of the effects of positive and negative feedback on system performance and behaviour. d. Digital control transfer function analysis e. Digital speed and positional measurement f. Digital controllers which control physical hardware and simulate the units outcome. g. Integrated software package which provides a firmware capability for integrated circuits. h. System transfer function analysis, time constant i. Feed forward systems, velocity feedback j. Motor and Eddy current characteristics k. Analogue to digital conversion Additional information: To view this notice, register as a supplier here: http://www.contracts.mod.uk/delta/signup.html?userType=supplier and search for the notice with reference 'GB-MOD Lyneham: Control Equipment Training Aids (CETA)'.
