The Aux Servo is a pure integrator and the gain ranges from 500 μs to 5 s.  It is a 20-turn pot.  Full ccw sets gain to minimum (5 s), full cw sets gain to maximum (500 µs).

-This 2-position slider switch is only accessible by removing the right side panel (see above) and sets whether the ramp is applied to the SERVO OUTPUT or the AUXILIARY SERVO OUTPUT. It is factory set in the Ramp->Servo position. When the Ramp->Servo is selected, the ramp is a ~500Hz triangle wave and when Ramp->Aux is selected the ramp is ~50Hz. Additionally, when using The Absolute Jump TTL or the Relative Jump TTL, the output jump is placed on the same channel as gets the ramp signal. The other signal (SERVO OUTPUT or AUXILIARY SERVO OUTPUT) is held at its current value. +This 2-position slider switch is only accessible by removing the right side panel (see above) and sets whether the ramp is applied to the SERVO OUTPUT or the AUXILIARY SERVO OUTPUT.

-When asserted HIGH (5V) while in LOCK mode, RELATIVE JUMP engages a sample-and-hold circuit and takes the Laser Servo out of lock. The voltage on the SERVO OUTPUT is the sample-and-hold value summed in with the LASER JUMP AMPLITUDE. For example, if the laser is locked and the SERVO OUTPUT is -200 mV, then engaging the RELATIVE JUMP and putting 300 mV on the LASER JUMP AMPLITUDE will make the SERVO OUTPUT 100mV (-200 mV + 300 mV).  This feature is useful for jumping the laser relative to its current lock point (say +200 MHz from a locked transition). When returned to LOW (0V), the loop filter is reengaged, enabling the laser to be relocked to its original position (by setting LASER JUMP AMP to zero), or to a new lock point. (See [[http://www.vescent.com/jumping-lock-point-d2-125-reconfigurable-servo/|application note here]].) Engaging or disengaging the RELATIVE JUMP is achieved in under 400 μs.+When asserted HIGH (5 V) while in LOCK mode, RELATIVE JUMP engages a sample-and-hold circuit and takes the Laser Servo out of lock.

When returned to LOW (0 V), the loop filter is reengaged, enabling the laser to be relocked to its original position (by setting LASER JUMP AMP to zero before returning the trigger to TTL low), or to a new lock point (by asserting the trigger low with the LASER JUMP AMP still at a non-zero value). (See [[http://www.vescent.com/jumping-lock-point-d2-125-reconfigurable-servo/|application note here]].) Engaging or disengaging the RELATIVE JUMP is achieved in under 400 μs.
  
 When asserted HIGH (5V) while in RAMP mode, RELATIVE JUMP applies a DC offset equal to the LASER JUMP AMPLITUDE to the ramp signal at SERVO OUTPUT. When asserted LOW (0V) while in RAMP mode, the ramp signal is DC balanced. When asserted HIGH (5V) while in RAMP mode, RELATIVE JUMP applies a DC offset equal to the LASER JUMP AMPLITUDE to the ramp signal at SERVO OUTPUT.
