B.8.d. Error Sensitivity
Error Sensitivity controls how rapidly the idle motor will move in reaction to the error of RPM at any given
time. The picture below shows how the
TECgt
unit finds error.

B.8.e. RPM Rate-of-Change Sensitivity
Rate-of-Change sensitivity controls how rapidly the idle motor moves in reaction to the RPM changing.
For example, if the RPM is dropping slowly as in example A in Figure 2, the Rate-of-Change sensitivity
will result in very little reaction. If the RPM is dropping rapidly as in example B in Figure 2, the reaction
will be larger. The Rate-of-Change calculation will always work against the direction of motion. This is
the adjustment that will prevent the engine from stalling when the throttle is closing. It can be thought of as
an adjustable dashpot.
