Experiment 2 - RPM Based Closed-Loop Fan Control

The experiment 2 is designed to gain familiarity with the closed-loop RPM controller implemented in
the EMC2102. This experiment will discuss the effects of gain, spin-up, and minimum settings on the
closed-loop performance.

The cmf file for this experiment is EMC2102_RPM.cmf.

Getting Started

For all these tests, the Fan Drive Setting register (51h), the TACH Target register (57h) and the TACH
Reading registers (58h) are selected to plot. As bits are switched in each of the tests, the register name
and address will be provided.
