When the TUNE program is complete the upper alternating

display stops and only the process temperature is displayed. The PID values are entered automatically. The process temperature will rise to setpoint and control should be stable. If not, this may be because optimum cycle time is not automatically implemented. To set the cycle time see PROPORTIONAL CYCLE-TIME.
