-The user can input an analog voltage signal to control the output of the SLICE-DHV. Before introducing a control signal, make sure you have selected the [[slice:dhv#Setting_the_Operation_Mode|desired Gain/operation mode]] (HBLG or LBHG).  \\

-The default modulation input is the SMA connector on the rear panel (bubble 3, <imgref back>).  The user can also program the SLICE-DHV to accept the modulation/control signal from the front-panel INPUT A for Channel 1 and INPUT B for Channel 2.  Only one modulation input for a given channel can be active at any given time.  To toggle between modulation input locations touch the I/O icon on the control bar and then the relevant INPUT field (A for CH1 or B for CH 2; <imgref input_a>). Select OFF for rear-panel input or Modulation Input for front-panel input.
