A method for optimizing overall characteristics optimizes control parameters in at least one control module required for controlling a device, using an optimization method such as a heuristic method. The method includes the steps of: (a) preselecting values of the control parameters and activating the device; (b) on-line changing values of the control parameters within predetermined ranges under predetermined coding rules; (c) on-line evaluating the performance of the device based on signals indicative of the performance; (d) on-line selecting values of the control parameters based on the evaluation outcome; and (e) repeating steps (b) through (d) while operating the device until desired performance of the device is demonstrated, wherein the at least one control module is optimized. In the method, when two or more control modules control performance of the device, optimization by steps (a) through (d) may be conducted on each control module in repetitive sequence.
A method for controlling performance of a device operated by a user, which performance is controlled essentially by at least two control modules each having an input-output relationship regulated by control parameters, optimization of one module affecting optimization of the other, said method comprising the steps of:
