English translation:setpoint jump
Explanation:
"If a post oscillation occurs after a setpoint jump, "Tn" is selected too small, possibly "P(kp)" was selected too large."

(www.foxboro-eckardt.com/pdf/SRD992_2MI_A_001_en.pdf)

The English in the above reference sounds a bit strange (most likely a translation from the German), but I think the term "setpoint jump" is OK.

  -> John, you can find any number of "jump" related phrases on the 'Net (such as "if the value jumps from 0 to 1", "the value jumps by 2", etc.), and these are UK or US sites. If you agree that a setpoint represents a value, then there you are.
