Matlab GUI application for teaching control systems

Abstract

This paper presents the development and use of a user friendly GUI tool for teaching Automatic Control Systems, based on Matlab. The ACTA-II tool -as we have called it- is going to be used in automatic control systems course, offered to the students of the Hellenic Air Force Academy of Greece. ACTA-II tool facilitates the design of Automatic Control Systems. In order to demonstrate its functionality we present the solution of a typical control system of an aircraft, step by step.
