Frequently Asked Questions about pidtune()

Is the pidtune() function free to use in SimLab?

The browser workspace requires no MATLAB® license or installation. Connected features require network access and may have account, tier, availability, or usage limits. You can open pidtune() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible function references at simulations4all.com/simlab.

Do I need to install MATLAB to use pidtune()?

No. SimLab’s core parser, workspace state, and most functions run locally in your browser. The pidtune() function requires no MATLAB® license or desktop software download.

What does pidtune() do?

Automatic PID controller tuning. Computes optimal PID gains for a given plant transfer function. Type can be "P", "PI", "PID", or "PIDF". It is a MATLAB®-compatible control systems function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: pidtune(plant).

Can I run pidtune() in my browser?

Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls pidtune(), and run it. This function is marked server-only. It is not a local-only calculation, and the call fails closed when its server implementation is unavailable.
