Default Re: PID temperature controller?

Yes, the Auto function is good. When the system is powered up, let the heaters run until the desired temp is reached. Select Auto at that point. The PID parameters are then set based on heat/time differentials. Some presetting is necessary to let the controller know what hardware you're using. (relays, SSR, thermocouple type, temp display, etc.)
