About the Cyclic with ALC Process
The Cyclic with ALC process works the same as the Cyclic process. You must
use the Cyclic with ALC process if you want to program a cyclic command and
use ALC (arbitrary end-level compensation).
Note The Cyclic with ALC process is optional. You must type a special key
code during installation to enable this process.
About ALC
compensation
Arbitrary end-level control compensation is an adaptive compensation technique
that improves the tracking accuracy of MPT.
ALC compensates for peak and valley errors by building (and continually
updating) a matrix of amplitude compensation factors.
For detailed information on the ALC compensator, see the MTS 793 Control
Software manual.
