1. Feedback Interactive Animation

  1. When you are prompted where to save the file select a folder to contain the setup file system, for example: C:\SETUP, or C:\TEMP.
  2. Download the file.
  3. Select Start, Run from the task bar and enter the path and filename, for example: "C:\TEMP\FEEDBACK.EXE". This will create the setup files. The default destination location for the self-extracting "zip" files is "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP". Either accept the default or enter a different destination, for example, "C:\TEMP". In any case remember where the files are located.
  4. Close any programs that may be running in Windows.
  5. Select Start, Run from the task bar and select the "SETUP.EXE" program (from the destination location above). Run the program. The setup program will guide you through the remainder of the installation process.

To uninstall the demo select Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. Select FEEDBACK from the list and click the Add/Remove button.

The user can make adjustments to Load and Set Point input parameters and watch the effects. "Time" is highly compressed. Changes are quickly observed. Switching to "Randomize" and selecting "Manual mode" presents a real challenge to the user for controlling the process. The value of feedback control is quickly realized.
