Note!
The

and
PID
[Link]
requires
that
Ti
and
Td
is
in
minutes,
while
its
normal
to
use
seconds
as
the
unit
for
these
parameters.
You
can
use
the
following
piece
of
code
in
order
to
transform
them:
This
means
we
entervalues
for
Ti
and
Td
in
secons
on
the
Front
Panel
and
the
values
are
converted
to
minutes
in
the
code.
This
[Link]
uses
seconds!

Subsystem
A
Way
to
structure
your
code,
similar
to
SubVIs
File
->
New
This
is
the
recommended
way
to
do
it!
You
can
easly
reuse
your
Subsystems
in
dierent
VIs
and
your
code
becomes
more
structured!
Create
a
Subsystem
of
this
part
Students:
Change
your
code
above
where
you
create
a

Now

[Link]
using
a
While
Loop
The
[Link]
Loop
has
some
drawbacks/is
more
complicated
to
use
than
an
ordinary
While
Loop.
If
we
use
[Link]
Subsystems,
we
can
use
them
inside
a
While
Loop
instead!
[Link]
Subsystems
So
for
real
[Link]
that
involves
more
than
just
[Link],
I
recommend
to
use
a
While
Loop
instead
of
a
[Link]
Loop.
