Simplified block diagram, and the five main tuning parameters
By looking at the complete diagram found on the previous two pages, it is clear that the
Mach-DSP servo allows for the adjustment of many different operational parameters.
However, there are five primary gain controls that are most fundamental to servo tuning.
As described above, the tunable parameters are: Servo Gain (Error-Proportional), Error
Integrator Gain, Position Proportional Gain, Low-frequency Damping, and High-
Frequency Damping. Below you will find a simplified diagram showing how these five
parameters sum together.
