Corrected inputs: a method for improved hybrid simulation

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe a programming procedure which is designed to minimize some of the difficulties often encountered in hybrid simulations. The method has been worked out for the hybrid system at General Electric's Re-Entry Systems Department, in Philadelphia. This system consists of general purpose analog and digital machines, connected by analog to digital (A-D) and digital to analog (D-A) converters, and associated logical elements. The procedure itself will be referred to as the method of corrected inputs. It is designed to minimize three major sources of error connected with data transfer.
