2. Connections and controls
2.1 Front panel controls
The front panel of the FSC has a large number of configuration op-
tions that allow the servo behaviour to be tuned and optimised.
Please note that switches and options may vary between hardware
revisions, please consult the manual for your specific device as in-
dicated by the serial number.

2.1.1 Configuration
INPUT Selects error signal coupling mode; see figure 1.5.
AC Fast error signal is AC-coupled, slow error is DC coupled.
DC Both fast and slow error signals are DC-coupled.
∆ Signals are DC-coupled, and the front-panel ERROR OFFSET is
applied for control of the lock point.
CHB Selects input for channel B: photodetector, ground, or a variable
reference adjustable with the adjacent trimpot.
FAST SIGN Sign of the fast feedback.
SLOW SIGN Sign of the slow feedback.
