 * Ensure product suitability for your needs:
 ** See [http://granitedevices.fi/assets/files/vsd-e_160_manual.pdf VSD-E/XE PDF manual chapter 13] for supported motor and feedback device types
-** Check if a compatible [[reference signal]] is available from your [[Controller|controller]]
+** Check if a compatible [[setpoint signal]] is available from your [[Controller|controller]]
 ** Read through the drive manual to understand the product and requirements better
 * Make clear what additional items will be needed, such as power supplies and possibly interface electronics
