Settings and Menus
All parameters of the TECSource can be viewed and changed within the menu
(except for the user calibration adjustments, which must be done via the
computer interface). The menus are constructed with the most used parameters
first. To change any setting, press Menu to enter the menu then rotate the knob
to select the parameter to change. Press the knob to begin changing the value.
As a visual indication that you are in edit mode, you will see an asterisk appear
next to the value. Once you have made your change, press the knob or Menu
button to store the value. Pressing the Menu button will store and exit the menu,
while pressing the knob will store the value but leave you in the menu to make
additional changes.
Some settings are contained inside a sub menu, such as communications
settings. To access the sub menu, simply press the knob to enter the sub menu
when its name is displayed.

Gain controls the response of the
temperature controller. A higher gain value
will cause the controller to respond more
quickly to the difference between the set
point and the actual temperature, while a
lower value will cause it to respond more
slowly. Select PID for direct access to the
PID parameters. See Gain Control and the
PID Loop section below.

PID P
The proportional term of the PID loop. Will
only be available if Gain is set to PID.
