Integral (INT. TIME CONST.)
The Integral term is used to give zero steady state error between the setpoint and
feedback values of the PID. If the integral is set to a small value, this will cause an
underdamped or unstable control system.
Derivative (DERIVATIVE TC)
This is used to correct for certain types of control loop instability, and therefore
improve response. It is sometimes used when heavy or large inertia rolls are being
controlled. The derivative term has an associated filter to suppress high frequency
signals.

You should achieve a
critically damped
response, which allows
the mechanics to track as
precisely as possible a
step change on the
setpoint.
