+Multiple types of galvanometers have been used, including Cambridge
+Technologies/Novanta, Thorlabs, and ScannerMAX. Each of these devices
+are externally controlled via analog signals delivered from the ASI 
+Tiger Controller.
+
+The ASI Tiger Controller has a few limitations for the analog signals. First, the 
+minimum voltage must be zero volts. Second, the period value needs to be a whole number.
+Third, there are three analog waveforms offered, sawtooth,  
+triangle, and sine waves.
+
+The sawtooth waveform is a periodic analog waveform. There are three duty cycle values 
+accepted, 0, 50, and 100. If the duty cycle is 0, the waveform is a falling sawtooth 
+waveform. If the duty cycle is 50, then it is a triangle wave. If the duty cycle is 100, 
+the waveform is a rising sawtooth waveform.
