1. A method, comprising:
- selecting an actuator controller, including;
responsive to the actuator being in a settle stage, selecting a first controller having an estimator-compensator architecture;
responsive to the actuator being in a track follow stage, selecting a second controller having an architecture other than that of the first controller; and
providing a control output, which is indicative of the control signal, from the selected controller to the actuator.

Abstract
A method of providing a control output by selecting a controller to an actuator is discussed. A first controller having an estimator-compensator architecture is selected if the actuator is in a settle stage. A second controller having an architecture other than that of the first controller is selected when the actuator is in a track follow stage. The control output is provided from the selected controller to the actuator. The control output is indicative of the control signal.

9. A method, comprising:
-
providing an output signal from a first controller, having an estimator-compensator architecture, to an actuator; receiving a control signal indicative of a desired position of the actuator and a feedback signal indicative of an actual position of the actuator; and responsive to the control signal and the feedback signal, transitioning, from the first controller to a second controller having an architecture other than the estimator-compensator architecture so that the output signal is provided by the second controller. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an actuator; and an actuator controller operably coupled to the actuator with a controller architecture including; a first controller having an estimator-compensator architecture; and a second controller having an architecture other than an estimator-compensator; wherein the actuator controller is configured to select one of the first and second controllers to provide an output to the actuator. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
