Template for control systems laboratory report and instructions
When you complete all the above exercises, write a report coveringaspects of each of the units and how you used them to build the VIs, and processes used to achieve the goal of controlling the inverted pendulum,using the template below.

Introduction (for example, Simulation of Inverted Pendulum using Virtual Instruments)
...
Theory
...
(you can answer questions such as what is a simulation loop? Why is it used? , etc. here.)
(you can also discuss topics such as signal generators, graph utilities, build arrays, spool of wire to make interconnection , etc. here.)
LabVIEWschematics& Procedure
(you can explain the simulation palette, control design palette, functions palette, etc. here.)
...
Results & Discussion
...
(you can use VIs that you built and interfaced as examples here.)
Feel free to explain why your simulation failed (i.e., inverted pendulum did not go vertical and stay there!).
