This paper describes the development of a computer-controlled system that controls inspired CO2 or end-tidal PCO2 (PETCO2) to follow preprogrammed functions such as step, sinusoid, and pulse, under normoxic, hyperoxic, and hypoxic conditions. The system uses a proportional-integral (PI) controller that was optimized by adjusting the PI parameters so as to minimize the integral-time of absolute error (ITAE) performance parameter.
