10.4 Instrument Tuning

Table 10-1 provides summary information for the tuning parameters referenced in the three tuning methods
that follow. The Trial and Error Method (Table 10-2) is usually preferred for processes that respond quickly,
requiring no waiting to determine steady cycling process conditions. The Proportional Cycle Method (Table
10-3) and Step Response Method (Table 10-4) are expedient procedures for slow processes. See Figure 10-
1 for a graphical representation of the Step Response Method.
