A RDS is asoftware environment that allows students to rapidly integrate their controller and analyze it viasimulation, emulation, and implementation. In the simulation mode the student simulates a linearaxis system that includes their controller and detailed models of the interface hardware and linearaxis. In the emulation mode, the simulation is performed on the computer hardware that willimplement the controller. In this mode the student can ensure their algorithm will run in real time(i.e., the algorithm’s execution time is less than the sample period). In the implementation mode,the controller is deployed on the hardware system and experimental data is gathered
