3.2.4 Diagnostic Signal Descriptions
Scanner Position - This signal is proprotional to the position of the scanner mirror, with
a scaling of 0.5 Volts per degree of mechanical movement.
Internal Command Signal - The command signal following amplification by the input
stage. The scaling is 0.5 Volt per degree of mechanical movement.
Positioning Error x 5 - This signal is proportional to the difference between the
demanded and the actual positions - (Position - Command) x 5 (i.e. (Pin 1 - pin 2) x 5).
Motor Drive Current - The drive current of the motor (2V per A), i.e. if drive signal is
2V, the drive current is 1 A.
Motor + Coil Voltage /2 - This pin outputs the drive voltage to the “+” side of the motor coil.
It is scaled down by a factor of 2. The drive voltage determines the current, which then
determines the acceleration. It is not required if the user only wants to monitor position.
3.2.5 Setting the Volts/Degree Scaling Factor
The servo driver cards have a jumper which is used to set the Volts per Degree
scaling factor. The cards are shipped with the scaling set to 0.5 V/°, where the max
mechanical scan angle is nominally ±20° for the full ±10 V input.
To set the scaling factor to 0.8 V/° or 1.0 V/°, proceed as follows:
1) Identify JP7 as shown in Fig. 3.13.
2) Set the jumper position for the corresponding scaling factor as shown below.

Note
The Scanner Position and Internal Command signals are scaled internally by the
driver circuit and are essentially equivalent to the input signal /2.
