CONCLUSION &
RECOMMENDATION
LabVIEW can help
students to have
deeper understanding
of the instrumentation
and control
engineering principles
and their application.
In the future, LabVIEW
can be developed that
students can remotely
control the
experimental
instrument via the
intranet link at the
Institute campus.

required to
tune the inner

then the outer

-Find the ideal

controller that
gives the
desired closed

-Find the PID

A new
method
for PID

proposed
where
first we
need to
find the

and then

A new method for PID

system gives many
advantage since it is
simple and easy to
use.
