Toward a General Theory of Control Knobs
نویسنده
چکیده
* Work supported by US Department of Energy Abstract Experience using hardware knobs as an operator interface for controlling equipment has varied considerably at different facilities. Reactions have ranged from “indispensable” at some facilities, to “virtually useless” at others. In this paper, we will attempt to outline some basic principles for successful knob implementation. These principles derive from our own experience with control knobs at the LANSCE Accelerator Complex and our recent effort to adapt our control knobs to EPICS. Topics to be covered include what the operator needs the knob to do, what the knob needs to know about the device it is controlling, and knob scaling issues. Advanced topics such as closedloop, PID, and aggregate knobs are left as topics for future papers.

After decades of research and practice, the tangible interface community still contemplates the question of what tangibles might look and act like as they grow common. This paper discusses some fabrication techniques and commercial examples of a class of tangibles embodied as cylinders, wheels, or knobs that can function with mass-market multi-touch devices. We consider laser cut knobs, 3D prin...
متن کاملSimplified Control for Complex IT Systems Using Dimension Reduction
Automated management of complex information technology (IT) applications and systems require dynamic configuration of both application-level and system-level parameters. The existence of large number of tunable parameters makes it difficult to design a feedback controller that adjusts these parameters effectively in order to achieve application-level quality of service (QoS) targets. In this pa...
