2.3 Internal DIP switches

2.3

Internal DIP switches

There are several internal

DIP

switches that provide additional op-

tions, all set to

OFF

by default.

WARNING

There is potential for exposure to high voltages inside the

FSC

, es-

pecially around the power supply.

knob.

DIP 2

Slow servo is a single (

OFF

) or double (

ON

) integrator. Should be

OFF

if using “nested” slow and fast servo operation mode.

DIP 3

Generate a bias current in proportion to the slow servo output to
prevent mode-hops. Only enable if not already provided by the laser
controller. Should be

OFF

when the

FSC

is used in combination with

a

MOGL

abs

DLC

.

DIP 4

Enables external modulation through the

MOD IN

connector on the

back-panel, which is added directly to

FAST OUT

. When enabled but

not in use, the

MOD IN

input must be terminated to prevent undesired

behaviour.

DIP 5

Disables the front-panel offset knob and fixes the offset to the mid-
point. Useful in external sweep mode, to avoid accidentally changing
the laser frequency by bumping the offset knob.

DIP 6

Reverses the direction of the sweep.
