6 Conclusions<br />

In the course of this paper, it has been shown that <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> is an effective tool<br />

for use with multiple CONDUIT problems. <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> provides the user with the<br />

capability of creating a large number of CONDUIT problems for optimization or<br />

evaluation. These problems can then be optimized or evaluated without intervention by<br />

the user. <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> also provides the capability to analyze the results of a large<br />

number of optimized or evaluated cases in an efficient manner. It offers HQ Window<br />

thumbprint plots to check for robustness, along with gain schedule plots against user<br />

defined variables. The Sensitivity Tools of CONDUIT were automated for use with<br />

<strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong>, giving the Run <strong>Mode</strong> the ability to automatically freeze insensitive or<br />

correlated parameters. Finally, it was shown that the simple logic of the correlation<br />

freezing was sufficient for the purposes of freezing correlated parameters.<br />

The optimization of the SH-2G demonstrated many of the features and<br />

capabilities of <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong>. First, it demonstrated the ease by which a <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong><br />

problem could be created, optimized, and evaluated. The results of these cases were then<br />

used to show that smooth gain schedules could be obtained through the use of <strong>Batch</strong><br />

<strong>Mode</strong>. Finally, the use of thumbprint plots to examine the robustness of a system were<br />

also shown to be effective.<br />
