Which action must occur when a proportional valve experiences significant hysteresis within a hydraulic control system?

💡 Explanation

When a proportional valve demonstrates hysteresis, the intended output does not directly correspond to the input signal because the mechanical resistance creates variable signal lag, requiring feed-forward compensation. Therefore feed-forward gain from the input assists the output, rather than derivative, integral or pressure changes, which respond more to errors.
