They are setup however you want them setup.
On my PSIM, I set them up as 0 to 10V input controls that were
connected to the normalled (or switched) connection on the input jack.
That way, with no plug inserted in the jack, each input had a variable
control over the full range. I used 100K pots connected to a 10 volt
reference derived from the +15 volts.
On my CVS, I set them up as input attenuators, and connected the 10
volt reference to the normalled connection. These function the same
way with the added feature of attenuating any input connected to the
jack.
Not sure which I like better. The former is less error-prone in some
applications. I have found myself trying to debug a CVS program when
I had forgotten to turn up a control.
For the 10 volt reference, I used an AD581 since I had one. For the
CVS, I attenuated and buffered the 10.666 volt reference. You have to
be real careful as the 10.666 reference does not like any capacitance
on the output. It starts to oscillate.
