| + | * If signal in DigiLock-Software does not show the usual error-signal at correct frequency, but is saturated at left and right edge of the frame (see picture) -> Check the ref input for the lock-in-amplifier (near the iodine spectroscopy). Probably the input signal is too low. It should be slightly higher than 2 V (~2.2V works fine).{{ : | ||
