II . POTENTIAL CONTROL
A. Outline
Part 2>Chapter 5>2
The potential is controlled for the following:
[1] Determining the optimum grid bias. (VD control)
[2] Determining the optimum laser output. (VL control)
[3] Determining the optimum developing bias (DC). (Vdc control)
Figure 6-201 shows the construction of the control system:
