-SETPOINT IN is an analog input. When the SETPOINT ENABLE is LOW (0 V) the SETPOINT IN voltage value sets the injection current instead of the front panel dial.  Zero volts sets zero current and V sets the maximum value of 200 mA (500 mA for 500 mA version). +SETPOINT IN is an analog input.

 This input is rolled off at 14 Hz, which is not much higher frequency than the front panel dial, which rolls off at 8 Hz, with a second pole at 4 Hz.  Therefore, noise can enter the circuit at this point and this input should be used with caution.  It is primarily intended for sweeping the current in order to measure PI curves and threshold values of laser diodes.  We do not recommend using this input for computer control of the injection current. This input is rolled off at 14 Hz, which is not much higher frequency than the front panel dial, which rolls off at 8 Hz, with a second pole at 4 Hz.  Therefore, noise can enter the circuit at this point and this input should be used with caution.  It is primarily intended for sweeping the current in order to measure PI curves and threshold values of laser diodes.  We do not recommend using this input for computer control of the injection current.
