Page 11: Temperature Set Point
Temperature Set Point C158 has 2 options to control temperature set point. These options are:i) internal set point with the 11-turn potentiometer located on the opposite side of laser connector ; ii) external voltage applied to the Pin 7 of the J4 connector. -
Page 12: Pi Control
PI Control C158 has 2 options to control the temperature feedback loop: Internal and External. Internal PI control covers the vast majority of systems and the P and I control potentiometers can be adjusted to obtain the optimal PI. External PI control can be used if the user has a digital PID implementation elsewhere and connected to the Pin 3 of J4. -
