Conducting experiments virtually

Under the local folder locate Self_tuning_controller folder. You will see two folders ConventionalTuning_Vikas and SelfTuning_Vikas. These two directories will contain four more folders, two for PI and two for PID.

The detailed procedure to perform a virtual experiment is explained in Chapter. A summary of the same is provided in section 1.1. It is same for this section with following changes.

1. Step1: The working directory is one of the four experiments you want to do. For example virtual/Self_tuning_controller/SelfTuning_Vikas
   /PIControllerFandisturbance
2. Step2: Same
3. Step3: Same
4. Step4: Switch to the working experiment directory and double-click on the .sce file corresponding to the experiment you want to perform. For example, pi_bda_tuned_dist.sce if you want to run the PI Controller Fan disturbance experiment. This will launch scilab and also open the file in the scilab editor. Linux users will have to launch scilab manually. They also have to change the working directory to corresponding experiment and then open the .sce file in the scilab editor.
5. Step5: Load the functions available in common files directory by executing the command getd<space>..\..\..\common_files
6. Step6: Execute the .sce file. Expect the corresponding xcos diagram to open automatically. If this doesnt happen, check the scilab console for error message.
7. Step7: Execute the xcos diagram.
8. Step8: Same
