Precision current source


Two rather messy photos as this board was already in one of our reck mount units, but it gives the general idea. Note the precision recistors connected to the heatsink at the bottom of the second photo.  These resistors are in the current control feedback loop, so we want their properties to be as stable as possible, hence the heatsinking.
