How to adjust the ATC2000 PID Parameters

The ATC-2000 is a low noise heating system for maintaining animal body temperature during experimental procedures. The ATC-2000 uses a digital PID controller to regulate the application of power to the heating plate to achieve the desired temperature at the monitored sensor. PID stands for Proportional, Integral and Differential. If the factory default PID settings do not adequately stabilize the system, you can manually adjust the PID parameters. WPI doesn't reccomend changing these parameters manually unless you are familiar with the functions of each PID parameter.

Setting PID Parameters

Press the PID button to display the PID screen. The two arrows on the screen indicate which digit is being adjusted.

2. Press the Config button to select the P line to modify the proportional value, I line to modify the integral value or the D line to modify the differential value.
3. Press the PID button to select the digit to modify. Each time you press the PID button, the top arrow moves one space to the left.
4. Press the Up or Down button to change the value.
5. When you are finished adjusting the PID values, press the Display button to save them and return to the home page screen.
