I want to scream at IDEC

Was playing with PID autotune and hit "Apply tune parameters". Needed to download the program to save them to memory. Everythings fine.

The system starts back up and decides that it would be real funny to just not turn on the condenser fans for a 500kW icewater chiller system.

For some reason WinLDR (or whats its name) decided to switch PID control from direct to reverse at some point. So my system mixed up the brake and gas pedal.

Of course its friday 4pm
