[sdiy] Difficult 2164 behaviour between different sections.

[Erik Dower]

Yes, the tempco scheme as outlined in the SSI datasheet is working nicely, however I have 3 other gain cells used for additional frequency cv processing and they are being affected. The 4th gain cell which is causing the problem is not an Irwin configuration and has it’s cv range limited to +/- 620mv.

Thanks,

epk
