Description
Return weighted-reference error and proportional term.
Controller calculations combine state, gain, error and reset conventions. A one-step update or output-balance target describes one part of a controller and does not implement, tune or establish the stability of a complete plant-control loop.
Return weighted-reference error and proportional term.
When to use this tool
Use Reference Weight Feedthrough Term when checking one explicit controller-state or term update.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter reference, measurement, referenceWeight, gain. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read weightedError, proportionalTerm. Use the output convention below.
Return weighted-reference error and proportional term. weightedError = referenceWeight*reference-measurement; proportionalTerm = gain*weightedError.1

| referenceWeight | Reference Weight | Required. Finite number. |
| gain | Gain | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

| weightedError | Weighted Error | Required. Finite number. |
| proportionalTerm | Proportional Term | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Reference weighting applies before subtracting measurement; this is one term, not a complete PID controller or tuning method.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the full controller and plant model, numerical implementation and qualified verification for actual operation or transitions.
