A Bode plot of gain and phase vs. frequency tells everything about loop performance and stability, as well as pointing out additional resonances in the system. Automatically generating tuning parameters from this data is a bit above my mathematical abilities, but getting a Bode plot would be a great guide to manually tweaking the PID settings. I think it would be fairly easy to write a decent tuning guide with step by step procedures for obtaining much improved tuning.
