Our product, Labtech Control, is well suited to this task.  It now includes
a C-Icon capability to develop any custom control algorithm as a function
block in the C language.  This function block dynamically links into the
real-time system for actual device control.  It can access the current
value of any other block in the system, as well as buffered historical
past data values for any block, and it can return multiple values.  Thus
it is well suited for multivariable control.

The Microsoft Windows version
of the software will shortly have bidirectional DDE links that will enable
similar development of control algorithms in any software packages that have
DDE link capability (these include spreadsheets as well as Visual Basic, and
a number of neural net, fuzzy logic, and expert system development packages).

for further information, requests can be sent to me at fred@labtech.com, or
call 1-800-try-labtech.
