Thanks for your input, but I must of not been clear in my OP. I am not looking to change the Kp, Ki, or Kd gain values (although I do have the option to at any point).
If the equation is:
ep = proportional error
ei = integrated error
ed = derivative error

All the...

I have inherited a temperature control system using a PID controller. Basically a Peltier with a temperature sensor mounted on it.
My need is to change the temperature various times...
