CP4500 Ratio Reversed?
I was setting up PCB A up and all seemed to work well from test guide steps. I then started testing over features. I have not installed PCB B yet (i dont believe PCB B missing would create this issue). But as I pass signal into I am seeing the output increase as I increase the ratio. I would expect an inverse relationship
In looking at the schematic all the resistors and diodes around the ratio portion of the circuit seem good. Does the rotary switch have be positioned in a certain way? Could it be i have the ratio switch 180 degrees inverted?
Let me know if anyone has any suggestions.

This is normal. It is true for small gain reductions. When you lower the threshold it changes direction.
This is because the ratio switch also affects the threshold level. In the end, the ratios are correct.

Thanks- I can confirm when I lower the threshold to more extreme levels I see exactly the behavior I was expecting.
Thanks!!!
