Re: PID Control

Well, I know there's a PID toolkit provided with the FRC LabVIEW software.
However, there's a bit about it I don't understand.
I'm used to dealing with Proportional gain, Integral gain, and Derivative gain.
With the NI functions, the inputs are Proportional gain, Integral time, and Derivative time.
What are Integral time and Derivative time, and why would those be used as constants instead of the gain being used as constants?
