The system was developed by adopting PID regulation algorithm and Lagrange interpolation method. Tests of steady flow and non-steady flow proved that the control system ensured the speed and stability of tail gate level control and improved the accuracy of the experiment. The repetitive precision of tail-water controlling is less than one millimeter. The results suggest that the system could improve the experiment’s repeat accuracy, enhance efficiency, and reduce the cost of experiment. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20150107
