Control Videos

by

Finn Aakre Haugen

Welcome to my collection of video lectures in the field of automatic control and adjacent areas. The videos are based on recordings of activities on my computer screen together with vocal explanations. You can use these videos for free and for any purpose - except for commercial purposes as courses with fee. (If you want to apply the videos for commercial purposes, please contact me first.)

Most videos are based on simulators that I run while providing explanations. The relevant simulator is available for download from the home page of the respective video lecture. To increase your learning, I suggest you run the simulator while whatching the video.

Software needed to run the simulators presented in the videos

The simulators used in the videos are SimView simulators developed in LabVIEW. You can download and run the simulators after you have (once and for all) installed the LabVIEW Run-time Engine.
