Source Counts into Cam - MFA, MFD, MFSLEW use command (x,0)

1000 5000 1200
MFA(1000,0)
MFSLEW(5000,0)
MFD(1200,0)
Slope is the ratio MFMUL/MFDIV
regardless of input or output
distance
MFA(x,0), MFD(x,0), MFSLEW(x,0)
If MFMUL or MFDIV are
changed, the new move will
respect the output targets and
adjust output accordingly.

When MFA(x,1), MFD(x,1), MFSLEW(x,1),
the rmware back-gures which input

?a = * 2 * 1000

?b = * 5000

?c = * 2 * 1200

If MFMUL or MFDIV are changed, the
new move will respect the output
target and adjust inputs accordingly.
The ratio of MFMUL/MFDIV is still
respected.
