Root Locus Synthesis
Overview
Window Anatomy
© National Instruments Corporation
This chapter describes the user interface, terminology, and parameters used
for root locus synthesis.
The Root Locus window performs two main functions:
•
Displays selected gain and phase contours in the complex plane of the
loop transfer function.
•
Allows the user to manipulate the controller transfer function
graphically by dragging controller poles and zeros, or dragging
the closed-loop poles along the root locus plot.
The Root Locus window only works in SISO mode.
The Root Locus Synthesis window is shown with the standard (default)
contour in Figure 5-1. The branches of the locus connect the zeros and
poles of the loop transfer function, which are shown in the plot. The
closed-loop poles, which are on the locus, also are shown.
