-#heating_gain: 2
-# The minimum temperature (in Celsius) that the heater must increase
-# by when approaching a new target temperature. The default is 2.
+#max_error: 120
+# The maximum "cumulative temperature error" before raising an
+# error. Smaller values result in stricter checking and larger
+# values allow for more time before an error is reported.
+# Specifically, the temperature is inspected once a second and if it
+# is close to the target temperature then an internal "error
+# counter" is reset; otherwise, if the temperature is below the
+# target range then the counter is increased by the amount the
+# reported temperature differs from that range. Should the counter
+# exceed this "max_error" then an error is raised. The default is
+# 120.
#check_gain_time:
-# The amount of time (in seconds) that the heating_gain must be met
-# in before an error is raised. The default is 20 seconds for
-# extruders and 60 seconds for heater_bed.
+# This controls heater verification during initial heating. Smaller
+# values result in stricter checking and larger values allow for
+# more time before an error is reported. Specifically, during
+# initial heating, as long as the heater increases in temperature
+# within this time frame (specified in seconds) then the internal
+# "error counter" is reset. The default is 20 seconds for extruders
+# and 60 seconds for heater_bed.
#hysteresis: 5
-# The difference between the target temperature and the current
-# temperature for the heater to be considered within range of the
-# target temperature. The default is 5.
-#max_error: 120
-# The maximum temperature difference a heater that falls outside the
-# target temperature range may accumulate before an error is
-# raised. For example, if the target temperature is 200, the
-# hysteresis is 5, the max_error is 120, and the temperature is
-# reported at 185 degrees for 12 seconds then an error would be
-# raised (or 24 seconds at 190, or 120 seconds at 194, etc.). The
-# default is 120.
+# The maximum temperature difference (in Celsius) to a target
+# temperature that is considered in range of the target. This
+# controls the max_error range check. It is rare to customize this
+# value. The default is 5.
+#heating_gain: 2
+# The minimum temperature (in Celsius) that the heater must increase
+# by during the check_gain_time check. It is rare to customize this
+# value. The default is 2.
# Idle timeout. An idle timeout is automatically enabled - add an
