More thoughts on this - the ASM-1 sawtooth is centered around 0V, while the
output of mine SITS on 0V, so it is 0V-10V. The +/- 5V wave form is then
available from the AC coupled output. There may be slight offset
differences when running off 15V instead of 12V, but the above is the
primary reason for the somewhat different values.
