Control

• sddscontrollaw -- Reads a matrix for a control law-type equation and regulates the values of a list of readback process variables by applying corrections to another list of process variables. Example application: removing slow drifts in accelerators (such as the energy of a linac beam), trajectory and orbit correction.
• knobconfig -- Assigns knobs to devices according to the input file. Example application: Manually tweak a trajectory, storage ring tunes and chromaticity.
• squishPVs -- Minimizes the absolute values of a set of readback process variables by varying setpoint process variables which have a physical influence on the readback process variables. Example application: Reducing the size of the trajectory in a beamline without knowledge of the response matrix between bpms and correctors.
• sddsoptimize --Minimizes or maximizes the RMS of a set of readback process variables by automatically varying setpoint process variables (or knobs composed of setpoint PVs), which have a physical influence on the readback process variables, through simplex or 1dscan method.
• sddspvtest --tests the process variable given by the inputfile are out-of-range or not and sets the number of out-of-range process variables to a control PV.
