Questions like \u201cWhat are the best PID control coefficients to use?\u201d can now become \u201cWhich mode achieves best stability fastest?\u201d or \u201cShould I use the D term or leave it out?\u201d. These are quickly and easily answered.<\/p>\n<p>We studied the TCLAB with a 3A thermoelectric load to explore what IntelliTune\u2122 makes possible. For example, the following graphs demonstrate the step response to a change in setpoint. They show time to temperature for two modes &#8211; Setpoint Response or Disturbance Rejection &#8211; with or without the Derivative control term. All PID control values were automatically generated by IntelliTune after one characterization scan. The complete report can be found <a href=\"\/download\/applicationtechnotes\/an-tc13.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HERE<\/a>. We invite you to try out IntelliTune on your load(s) and see what a time saver it can be.<\/p>\n[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;473&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;475&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;474&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;476&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 17, 2017 Wavelength\u2019s proprietary IntelliTune\u2122 algorithm characterizes the TEC \/ Sensor system\u2019s response to the TC LAB temperature controller and then automatically adjusts the PID control values as setpoint, tuning mode, or bias current are changed.
