1. A method for setting up a hardware based control system for a hardware based function unit, said function unit being parametrized by a plurality of input variables, said control system including a setting unit and a control unit, said setting unit including at least one regulator, the method comprising:

  • selecting a plurality of value tuples of the plurality of input variables as interpolation points from a parameter space defined by the plurality of input variables;

    determining an interpolation function that is dependent on at least one control variable and defines a continuous subspace of the parameter space, the subspace having a dimensionality corresponding to a number of the at least one control variables and contains every interpolation point;

    assigning the at least one control variable to the at least one regulator of the setting unit such that a value of the at least one control variable is stipulated by means of the respective regulator; and

    storing the interpolation function in the control unit, wherein the interpolation function is determined by,stipulating the subspace inside the parameter space,stipulating, for each dimension of the subspace, a coordinate corresponding to the at least one control variable, andstipulating for each coordinate, a progress function by which each value of the associated at least one control variable is allocated a value of the coordinate.
