Labeling  Type  Function 
CONTROL INPUT 
-2 to +12 V 
BNC 
In analog operation, this control input voltage gives the target 
(either as voltage or position, depending on the servo mode). 
The input signal should always be in the range of 0 to 10 V 
(excursions to -2 or +12 V may cause overflow, especially with 
servo on, and reduce actuator lifetime). 
The control input range can be shifted using the “DC-
OFFSET” 
potentiometer. 
The control input voltage can also be a computer-generated 
analog signal (e.g. from a DAQ board). You can use a PI 
LabVIEW Analog Driver set to generate that analog signal. 
See “
Analog Operation” on p. 17 for details. 
DC-OFFSET 
10-turn 
potentiometer 
Adds 0 to 10 V to the “CONTROL INPUT” signal (only relevant 
in analog operation, see p. 17 for details)
