Re: Alternative Method for calculating “I” term in PID
I believe what Ken was referring to by applying a step function to the system and watching the response means instantly creating a point for the system to reach, then watching the general behavior, acceleration, overshoot, etc, and adjusting the PID terms with the (entered value vs. system reaction) graph as a reference.

I have no idea what a Bode plot or pole whatchamacallit is...
