Open-loop Ramp Response Plotting in Section 6.3
From the result of obtaining the ramp response, the plot shows:
The oscilloscope shows that when the valve V1 and V2 are closed, it results act as an integrator which causes a ramp effect on h1 while h2 remain at steady state. When the pump P1 closed, the integrator effect is removed. Hence h1 back to steady state.

Closed-loop Response to a Step-Reference Plotting in Section 9.3
From the result of increase the reference value, we obtain the plot as below:
The oscilloscope show the effect of what PID controller can bring to the system. At the start of the plot, 1 when the reference value is increase the 0 also increase. After increase for a period, PID controller effectively tracks down the reference increase and led both reference, h2 and

0 2
back to steady state.

Closed-loop Response to a Step-Disturbance Plotting in Section 9.4
In this section, we input a value to act as disturbance response and we get the plot as below:
After the reference response input, we input a disturbance response into the system and we can see a step increase in the volts but PID controller manage to reject the change in the volts and swiftly bring it back to steady state.
