Thanks for that.

That's why it's best to ask whilst the concept is still on paper/on the 
CAD package :-) Think I must have mis-interpreted whichever book it was 
(Chamberlain?)

Actually makes things a tad easier since my control voltages are 5V 
(unipolar.)

But what about the system output - should that be +/- 5V?
