NOTES
1. If the process variable is within 5% of the input span from the setpoint,
the Pre-Tune facility cannot be activated and any attempt to do so will
have no effect.
2. Since the Pre-Tune facility is a single-shot operation, it will automatically
de-activate itself once the operation is complete.
To de-activate the Pre-Tune facility manually (with the Digital Controller
Programmer in Base Mode), press the SET UP key to obtain the same Message
Display as above; then press the MODE and Up keys to change the lower Main
Display from On to OFF.
