 ### Fast Mode

 Fast mode is intended for bare PID operation (no demodulation or filtering), bypassing most of the FPGA functionality. If enabled, the signal flow is FAST IN 1 → PID → FAST OUT 2. This is useful, if aiming for a high control bandwidth: fast mode reduces propagation delay from 320 ns to 125 ns which may make a difference when phase-locking lasers.
