SystemIdent stabilization mode:
AutoTune is a flight mode that can directly go on the FMS.  SystemIdent is a stabilization mode that can be put in a Stabilized1-6 flight mode.  There is no reason to use SystemIdent stabilization mode.  What you will get is a mode that acts a lot like the shaking part of AutoTune, but the shakes may be bigger or smaller.  SystemIdent stabilization mode has been hidden from use when using the GCS FMS setup GUI.  It can only be enabled with settings on the System tab.

Enabling the AutoTune module manually:
The AutoTune module is automatically enabled at boot time if the FC detects that AutoTune has been added to the FMS.  The AutoTune module can also be enabled manually so it is always enabled.  After either of these changes, you must reboot the FC for AutoTune to actually run.  There are two reasons you might want to manually enable the AutoTune module:
- You no longer have AutoTune on the FMS, but you want to be able to continue to use SmoothQuick.
- You know you are going to experiment with FMS changes that include adding and removing AutoTune from the FMS (e.g. over the course of many days).  Without manually enabling the AutoTune module, you will need to reboot after adding AutoTune to the FMS if it was not enabled in the FMS at power up.

Field descriptions:
System.SystemIdentSettings are stored permanently but do not show up in logs.  DataObjects.SystemIdentState shows up in logs but is not stored permanently.  Read the xml files or source if you need to know more of the technical aspects of their fields.  The field descriptions should be displayed on the System page if you hover over a field or enable "Show Descriptions" (click the eyeball at the top of the GCS System page to find this setting).
