Program CC Demos For more insight on the operation and features of Program CC, download the software without charge and run it in Demo mode. While the size of systems that can be analyzed in Demo mode is quite limited, you can experience the Program CC interface and functionality. You can also run built-in ProgramCC demos for basic “how to do it” demonstrations.

Program CC Applications
Program CC gives you the power to efficiently and effectively develop sophisticated control systems in a wide range of applications such as:

• Aircraft digital flight control systems
  
• Automotive power train and suspension control
  
• Tracking antennas
  
• Astronomical telescopes
  
• Oil rig hoisting system controls
  
• Sample handling systems for automated blood analysis
  
• Computer disk drive control systems
  
• Chemical process control
  
• Manual control analysis and human operator modeling
  
• Instructional use in systems and control courses

• Program CC implements a broad range of control system design methods from Bode to root locus to linear quadratic optimal control. 
• Graphics and design methods are implemented using high level, user-friendly functions.
• Control system designers can work quickly, efficiently, and confidently with the right tools, whatever the task or approach.
• Program CC now runs under Microsoft Windows®.

• Program CC makes it easy to use and combine a variety of representations– such as transfer functions, transfer function matrices, real matrices, and state space quadruples.
• Program CC provides generic components–such as the first-order lag, Pade’, Butterworth, and other filters–to speed up model construction.
• Equation interpreters simplify complex model manipulation.
• Program CC is used for linear analysis and linear simulations

Classical Control

• Dedicated transfer function data types and interactive graphics simplify design work.
• Do simple things simply. Easily generate and modify the classical design plots–Bode, Nyquist, Nichols, root locus, Bode-siggy root locus, and time histories.

Digital Control Systems

• Easily move through the s,z, and w domains, then back to the time domain–whether working with transfer functions, state space models or both.
• Ideal for complex, multirate-sampled data design.
  

Multi-input, Multi-output Systems (MIMO)
Sophisticated MIMO commands simplify state space operations, including:

• Eigenvalue/Eigenvector/Shur vector calculations.
• Pole placement.
• Lyapunov/Sylvestor/Riccati equations.
• Balanced realizations.
• Singular value calculations.

• Use functions to initiate complex sequences of commands with a few keystrokes.
• Use "FOR, WHILE, and IF" and other flow control commands.
• Improved capability to create subdirectories for different projects.

• Conduct trade studies by entering successive parameter values in a function.
  
• Use flow control to automatically sequence through a range of parameters.
  
• Automate model building, graphic displays, and any other commands for repetitive analysis.
  
• Cycle through a complex analysis sequence and automatically generate a customized, multi-page design report.

Program CC Version 5.0 Software
The Program CC Version 5.0 software may be "activated" to the limited Student Level or as the “industrial strength” Professional Level. The features and commands of the two Levels are identical, however the Student Level has limits on the size of the system that can be analyzed and the memory available for variables. The Student Level is adequate for most instructional or self-study applications. The Professional Level software has no limits on capacity other than those imposed by the computer hardware.
