The Test Signal Generator can generate sine-waves or square-waves (quadrature and
in-phase) having a frequency from 1Hz to 500Hz. The amplitude of the Test Signal
Generator is specified in hundredths of a degree, up to 40 degrees mechanical peak-to-
peak (up to 80 degrees optical).
When the amplitude is set to 0.00, the external Command Input is used to drive the
servo. When the amplitude is set greater than 0.00, the Test Signal Generator drives
the servo.
Test Signal Generator Settings are saved as part of the Scanner Tuning
Note that the Test Signal Generator settings are stored with the scanner tuning, so if
you do not want the signal generator to drive the servo when a particular tuning is
selected, make sure that the Test Signal Generator Amplitude is set to 0.00.
(Note that the frequency and amplitude limitations noted above are believed to be reasonable limits for
the intended purpose, but they are purely artificial limits built into the software. If you have an application
that requires alternative limits, please contact Pangolin to discuss a software update.)
