Appendix G: Glossary

Glossary

Closed Loop Mode: Sometimes called Servo mode. In this mode the difference

between the Target and Actual position/pressure is the error that the PID

routine uses to compute a corrective drive that minimizes the error.

Extending:

Going in the direction where the transducer’s counts are increasing.

Hard Stop:

An emergency stop condition where the drive is immediately set to the

null drive value.

LDT:

Linear displacement transducer. Technically, this is any sensor that can

sense a linear position. Many use this term interchangeably with MDT.

MDT:

Magnetostrictive displacement transducer. A device that senses position

by sending an electron pulse down a wave guide. A twist is imparted on
