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
