"REGULATOR SET POINT": Definition please

[brightnorm]

I have no technical background, and find some CPF duscussions pretty esoteric but I want to learn, so.. What is "regulator set point"?
(In layman's terms please!)

Many thanks,
Brightnorm

Hi there!

What was this in reference too? Could
you supply the whole sentence?

One possibility is that this means the
voltage or current at which the output is
set at, via resistor selection or pot
usually.

Thanks MrAl,

I have to try and find it. It referred to the ARC AAA in terms of Peter Gransee not being able to produce a fully regulated light because of physical/electronic limitations. He found the best compromise possible. "Set point" was used within this context. By the way, how do I transfer a quote from a post into another post; -copy--paste, etc.? or some other way. I notice that there is often a bold type statement from a previous post that precedes many replies. How is this done?

I'll try to find that quote. Thanks again/

Brightnorm is referring to Gransee's reply to Harrkev in the topic thread;

ARC AAA LE dims near magnet? (Page 3)

I thought that the ARC-AAA was supposed to maintain near constant brightness until the battery was nearly exhausted. This would translate into a graph that was nearly flat for a while, and then drop like a brick.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

So we had a decision to make, we could reduce the regulator set point, running the LED dimmer but providing more headroom to the regulator so it could produce those flat discharge curves that EE majors just love. Or, we could tune the circuit settings so we get the maximum capability of the inverter (read: brightest light possible) while still achieving some regulation effect (read: flatter discharge than most other flashlights).<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

You can hit the "quote" button at the very top of the exact post you wish to quote.
If you dont want all the text, highlight
what you dont want and hit your "delete"
button on your keyboard to get rid of the
unrelated text. Then you type your response
under the quoted text.
A quote always starts with the word "quote"
enclosed in brackets "[" and "]" and
the quote ends with the same, but with a
backslash before the word "quote", "\".
Try it once and you'll see how it works.

Good luck,
