Dither is only an issue when using a control loop. The difference is that with dithering you eliminate the D/A portion which doubles the cost from $ 15 to $ 30. I personally prefer the analog approach. The same design can have both options. Part of the program. Bert Kehren In a message dated 1/13/2012 3:48:19 P.M.

Or, as has also been suggested here, add a manual C-field adjustment (but that would not change the fact that the RS-232 adjustments would still be ~ 7e-13 steps).
