A PID controller must be custom-tuned to each process to achieve optimal performance. While factory tuning may provide a reasonable starting point, the unique characteristics of each process require individual tuning for optimal results. The use of a signal generator may aid in the tuning process, but is not the only method and is not sufficient on its own.
