Using the Software PC/MAC – PID control

18. Mark the remaining check boxes as shown

in the adjacent illustration. You can also

have the data entered into a log file during

the process. This is called

“auto_pid_log.csv”.

19. Press the “Start“ button to begin the

automatic fine-tuning process with the PID

control parameter.

The process takes approx. 1 minute.

Certain resonance vibrations, which can be caused by the interaction between your camera and the

mechanical structure of the Gimbal, cannot be reduced as necessary by setting the PID control parameter.

Note

Function!

When you use the Gimbal in an area with extreme temperature

differences a calibration of the temperature sensors can be conducted.

Generally this will not be necessary. If it is, we would like to refer you to the

respective current edition of the instruction manual for SimpleBGC software.

Use at your own risk. Observe the safety information.

Note

Function!

During the automatic fine-tuning process the control unit sends a

command for the camera to rotate on a small angle to find the optimal system

data for error minimization. The current error value is shown in the dialogue

window. The error value should get consistently smaller during the automatic

fine-tuning process. The process is completed when the error can no longer

be reduced. You can also cancel the process by pressing the “STOP” button.

The current optimized values are saved and displayed. The process is

interrupted in an emergency when the system is not stable due to

automatically set values. In this case you should press the mode button on

the Gimbal to start the system again and to repeat the automatic fine-tuning

process from the beginning.

Note

Tip!

When you conduct the PID fine-tuning process for the first time, disable

the check box “Update tuned parameters in all profiles”. If the automatic

settings do not lead to the desired result, not all profiles become unusable. You

can produce your profile again via the downloading function from a previously

created safeguard.
