-If you remove the right side panel on the Laser Controller, for each stage of temperature control, you will see the panel shown in <imgref side_adjustb>. The set of click switches labeled "Integral" controls the PI (ω<sub>1</sub>) pole. Clicking the first switch, labeled "proportional," into the on position removes the integral gain. If the "proportional" switch is in the off position, then the sum of the times for all switches in the on position gives the RC time-constant for the PI pole. For example, if the 2<sup>nd</sup> (0.47s) switch and the 4<sup>th</sup> (2.2s) switch are in the on position (and the rest off), then the time constant is 2.7s and ω<sub>1</sub> = 1/2.7s = 0.37 Hz. +If you remove the right side panel on the Laser Controller, for each stage of temperature control, you will see the panel shown in <imgref side_adjustb>. The set of click switches labeled "Integral" controls the PI (ω<sub>1</sub>) pole. Clicking the first switch, labeled "proportional," into the on position removes the integral gain (but not the differential gain). If the "proportional" switch is in the off position (integral gain is now on), then the sum of the times for all switches in the on position gives the RC time-constant for the PI pole. For example, if the 2<sup>nd</sup> (0.47s) switch and the 4<sup>th</sup> (2.2s) switch are in the on position (and the rest off), then the time constant is 2.7s and ω<sub>1</sub> = 1/2.7s = 0.37 Hz. 
  
 Similarly, the switches labeled "Differential" control the D (ω<sub>2</sub>) pole. If the first switch, labeled "Diff On" is in the off position, then there is no differential pole. If the "Diff On" switch is on, then the D pole has an RC time-constant given by the sum of the times of all the switches in the on position, same as with the Integral bank of switches.  Similarly, the switches labeled "Differential" control the D (ω<sub>2</sub>) pole.
