Trim setting?

Hi everyone! I'm just confused with another Airbus issue,

In the 737NG series trim is set manually, But yesterday I learned that the Airbus automatically sets trim for take-off. What I was precisely told was an aircraft taking off in CONF 3 sets the following;

FMGC -> PERF -> TAKE OFF -> FLAPS/THS = 3/0

Is this correct? And if not and say the aircraft needed a take off trim of 2.6DN how would it be set in the FMGC e.g. what would be put in the FLAPS/THS option?

Very much appreciated, Thanks!
