+BEC control script for FEMTO DLPCA-200 Variable Gain Low Noise Current Amplifiers
+connected to Galil RIO digital outputs.

+DLPCA-200 Remote Control (datasheet page 4)
+-------------------------------------------
+Sub-D pin → function:
+  Pin 10  →  gain LSB   (digital out channel, index 0 in bit-tuple)
+  Pin 11  →  gain MID   (digital out channel, index 1 in bit-tuple)
+  Pin 12  →  gain MSB   (digital out channel, index 2 in bit-tuple)
+  Pin 13  →  coupling   LOW = AC,  HIGH = DC
+  Pin 14  →  speed mode HIGH = low noise (Pin14=1), LOW = high speed (Pin14=0)
+
+Gain truth table (MSB, MID, LSB):
+  0,0,0  →  low-noise: 1e3   high-speed: 1e5
+  0,0,1  →  low-noise: 1e4   high-speed: 1e6
+  0,1,0  →  low-noise: 1e5   high-speed: 1e7
+  0,1,1  →  low-noise: 1e6   high-speed: 1e8
+  1,0,0  →  low-noise: 1e7   high-speed: 1e9
+  1,0,1  →  low-noise: 1e8   high-speed: 1e10
+  1,1,0  →  low-noise: 1e9   high-speed: 1e11
+
+Strategy: prefer low-noise mode (1e3–1e9). For 1e10 and 1e11,
+automatically fall back to high-speed mode.
+
+Device wiring example (galilrioesxbox):
+  bpm4:  Pin10→ch0, Pin11→ch1, Pin12→ch2, Pin13→ch3, Pin14→ch4
+  bim:   Pin10→ch6, Pin11→ch7, Pin12→ch8, Pin13→ch9, Pin14→ch10
+
+Usage examples
+--------------

+
+  csaxs_amp.set_gain("bpm4", 1e7)          # low-noise if possible
