Abstract
Automatic control systems are vital manifestations of modern technology and pervade almost every area of activity. The development of a new control system usually starts with a specification containing one or more criteria to be met. A theoretical assessment is then carried out of possible arrangements of components that are most likely to comply with the specification. It is these techniques of measurement that are used to evaluate control systems and their components. This chapter is concerned with the evaluation of the parameters of an engineering situation represented by a coupled system of physical components, and to determine a system's behavior. The development of any new control system starts with a customer specification that of a well-engineered system that functions consistently at an economic level. The control engineer is required to produce a much more detailed specification to be met in the subsequent development. This detailed specification is phrased in control engineering terminology and is based on the control engineer's special knowledge of factors that will contribute toward a successful system design.
