As you can see in the preceding illustration, the system is performing much better with the P gain set
to 4.
Note: Every system is different and requires unique tuning settings. MTS recommends starting
with P Gain at 1 and incrementing by 1 until drift around zero is sufficiently reduced. Starting at
higher values is not recommended because the system could go suddenly unstable.
