* The slew rate for this position cannot be changed.
The rates for slew rate switch positions 1-4 can be configured when the hand controller is plugged into
the MKS 5000 control system. See “Hand Controller Settings” on page 110 for information how to do so.
The hand controller is compatible with the Paramount ME (specifically, MKS 4000 control
systems using firmware version 2.8.6 or later). However, the hand controller’s slew rates
are not configurable when used in conjunction with the MKS 4000. In other words, the
default slew rates are configurable only via the MKS 5000 control system.
