Computerised investigation of robust measurement systems

The paper deals with the development of software for investigating the robust properties of measurement systems and for design and tuning in order to improve their robustness. The software consists of Simulink models and m-files as extensions of the libraries of MATLAB. Investigations of continuous measurement systems (a self-balancing system) and discrete systems (ADCs) with improved robustness using the internal model controller technique revealed new properties-fast dynamics, high accuracy, and discretisation error reduction via multiple measurements.
