Storing and Retrieving Intermediate Designs

You can store and retrieve intermediate compensators while you iterate on your compensator design. To store intermediate designs, select Store under Compensator in the menu bar of the SISO Design Tool. This window opens.

The default name is UntitledC_1; the suffix increments when you store additional compensators. You can rename the designs by editing the Store as field.

To retrieve intermediate designs, select Retrieve under the Compensator menu. This opens the Compensator Designs window.

To retrieve a design, select it from the list of names and click Retrieve. The SISO Design Tool automatically reverts to the selected compensator design. Note that you can rename the stored compensator by editing the name in the selected Name cell.

The Compensator Designs window also lists the order of each compensator design, and, if the compensator is digital, the sample time. The default sample time value for continuous-time compensators is 0.

You can delete an intermediate design by selecting it and clicking the Delete button.
