Example Python script to implement the PID controller
# pymoku example: Basic PID Controller
#
# This script demonstrates how to configure one of the two PID Controllers
# in the PID Controller instrument. Configuration is done by specifying
# frequency response characteristics of the controller.

from pymoku import Moku
from pymoku.instruments import PIDController
def from_dB(dB):
# Helper function that converts from dB to linear scale
return 10 ** (dB / 20.0)
# Connect to your Moku by its device name
# Alternatively, use Moku.get_by_serial('#####') or Moku('192.168.###.###')
m = Moku.get_by_name("Moku")
try:
i = m.deploy_instrument(PIDController)
# Configure the PID Controller using frequency response characteristics
# P = -10dB
# I Crossover = 100Hz
# D Crossover = 10kHz
# I Saturation = 10dB
# D Saturation = 10dB
# Double-I = OFF
# Note that gains must be converted from dB first
i.set_by_frequency(1, kp=from_dB(-10), i_xover=1e2, ii_xover=None,
d_xover=1e4, si=from_dB(10), sd=from_dB(10))
i.enable_output(1, True)
finally:
# Close the connection to the Moku:Lab
m.close()
