LSK-GG Chapter 6: Specifications c. Step Response for a 0.1 movement from 1% to 99% of its final position. d. This is the maximum incremental movement at which the mirrors are still able to settle properly. The typical settling time for this maximum incremental movement is 130 µs. For a movement greater than this, you must add a slope (v/t, where v is the difference between the voltages and t is the time difference) to your Voltage profile.
