Detailed Description

template<bool AllowDecrease>
class TimescaleTuner< AllowDecrease >

Manages control system timescales.

The TimescaleTuner adjusts the damping timescale, \(\tau\), of the control system.
The damping timescale is restricted to min_timescale \(\le\tau\le\)max_timescale

The damping time is adjusted according to the following criteria:

Decrease the timescale by a factor of decrease_factor if either

  • the error is too large: \(|Q| >\) decrease_timescale_threshold OR the error is changing quickly: \(|\dot{Q}|\tau >\) decrease_timescale_threshold,
    AND
  • the error is growing: \(\dot{Q}Q > 0\) OR the expected change in \(Q\) is less than half its current value: \(|\dot{Q}|\tau < |Q|/2\)

Increase the timescale by a factor of increase_factor if

  • the error is sufficiently small: \(|Q|<\) increase_timescale_threshold
    AND
  • the expected change in \(Q\) is less than the threshold: \(|\dot{Q}|\tau < \) increase_timescale_threshold

If the template bool AllowDecrease is false, then the check for decreasing the timescale will be ignored. This can be used if something else will be controlling the decrease of the timescale.

◆ resize_timescales()

template<bool AllowDecrease>
void TimescaleTuner< AllowDecrease >::resize_timescales ( size_t num_timescales,
const std::optional< double > & fill_value = std::nullopt )

Destructively resize the DataVector of timescales. All previous timescale information will be lost.

Parameters
num_timescalesNumber of components to resize to. Can be larger or smaller than the previous size. Must be greater than 0.
fill_valueOptional of what value to use to fill the new timescales. std::nullopt signifies to use the minimum of the initial timescales. Default is std::nullopt.
