How To Calculate the Analog Set Point
The analog set point input is a linear input sent through the lower connector on the Control
board. The input corresponds to an analog set point value (refer to Figure 31). By adjusting the
analog set point input voltage, the analog set point is changed. The default settings are for an
analog input of 0.0 Volts to correspond to a zero set point, and for a 5 Volt input to define a 1000
Torr set point. The acceptable analog input voltage range is 0 to 10 Volts, with the default full
scale voltage set at 5 Volts. The ability to define the set point through an analog input is
disabled by default. Refer to Code 15x: How To Set Up Analog Set Point, in the Operation in
Setup Mode chapter for instructions on how to enable the analog set point feature.
Analog set point is a voltage input that
determines the analog set point.

Figure 31: Graph Showing Analog Set Point Defaults
The lower and upper points of the analog input voltage range can be altered (refer to Figure 32,
page 119) in Normal and Leakage Modes. By changing either one, or both of these points, the
slope of the analog input voltage versus analog set point line is changed. As a result of the
change in slope, a fixed input voltage defines a different analog set point. To adjust the lower
and upper points in Normal and Leakage Modes, the current analog input voltage must be
altered. To change the upper point (not the lower point), independent of the current analog input,
refer to Code 15x: How To Set Up Analog Set Point, in the Operation in Setup Mode chapter.
