SHG TEC controller tuning

Following the installation of the improved TEC controller for the SHG, we started tuning the loop.

Figure 1: A single pole at 0Hz, a zero at 100mHz and with 10mHz selected in the ugf box. There is a fair amount of overshoot and it takes a long time to settle.

Figure 2: The zero has been moved down to 10mHz.

Figure 3: The zero has been moved down to 5mHz.

Figure 4: The zero has been moved down to 7mHz. The overshoot is about 20%. We are sticking with this value for the zero.

Figure 5: Pole at 0Hz, zero at 7mHz, another pole at 1Hz, gain of -1, ugf box set to 30mHz.

Figure 6: Response measurement at 30mHz, indicating that the ugf is around this frequency.

Adding a plot of the turn-on transient. Takes about 2 minutes to settle down.
