Temporal evolution of step responses

Abstract

Due to restrictions in face-to-face teaching with the summer semester of 2020, the practical courses of the lecture "measurement and automation technology" got restructured from lab courses being performed at the institute to "at home" courses, which can be done by the students from their own home. In the first generation, existing courses received a full or partial digitalization and new courses were developed, which used everyday items. All these courses did not require any materials provided by the institute. For the second generation of "at home" courses a material bundle was designed, which students could borrow from the institute in the shape of a suitcase. The control loop course is one of these suitcase courses and encompasses the application, tuning and characterization of various control loops. The development of the control loop course, as well as a detailed testing of the course are part of this article.
