The paper describes an interactive multivariable frequency response analysis program, suitable for undergraduate use. Nyquist Array (N.A.) and Inverse Nyquist Array (I.N.A.) design methods are provided, as are a range of graphical displays for system response investigation. Precompensation is available, using several alternative techniques.
