The scale factor allows for stepped or scaled
moves. If you have a filter wheel with a known
532 steps between positions, you can set the scale
factor to 532d or 0x0214. Every button press
would then move 532 steps. Remote commands
remain unaffected by the scale.
The commands remain backward compatible with
the original DRO focus controller, but now add a
second channel, remote temperature sense, option
home switch, and an improve user interface.
The motor move buttons are dual function. When
pressed for a short time, they move the motor in
very fine increments at a slow speed. When held
down for longer periods of time, the motor speed
picks up and fast moves are made.
