Moku:Lab PID Controller

Compare all PID controllers

Overview

The Moku:Lab PID Controller instrument features two fully configurable PID controllers with an output sample rate of 10 MSa/s. This enables them to be used in applications requiring both low and high feedback bandwidths such as laser temperature and current stabilization. The PID Controller can also be used as a lead-lag compensator by saturating the integral and differential controllers with independent gain settings.

Intuitive, even in the dark

Two independent, fully real-time configurable PID controller paths follow the control matrix in the block diagram, making it so easy to use that you can do it in the dark (mode).

mokulab-pid-response-plot

PID response plot

An interactive representation (gain as a function of frequency) of the controller, the PID response plot makes it easy to adjust your configurations and see the changes in real-time.
