Can I access it raw as the hex value? volts doesn't really represent what 
I need to work with. Although I assume the fp in volts does increment by 
the value of 1 bit change, so that can be worked around.

How would I go about determining the resistor value to feed that input 
from nominally 42.3 volts to just bring it to full scale? My additional 
connections would "sink" it from there.

I have a small voltage applied to that input, but a halmeter is only 
reading a flicker of random noise at about 1 second intervals, zero the 
rest of the time. Thats likely a clue I'm doing something wrong, but 
what?

I did get the flood button to appear in the axis gui, which is what I 
will use to anable the mister air seperately from the mister pump, and 
will interlock the pump so air has to be flowing before the pump can be 
started. 'Twould be nice if I could relabel that radio button from flood 
to air, can it be?

I did just find the pwmgen's pins, which despite the fact that they steal 
the 7i76's stepgen-4 pins, are addressed in the 5i25 as pwmgen.00.etc. No 
mention of that in the 7i76 docs I assume because the pwmgens are 
actually in the 5i25.  Is pwmgen.01 then the same pins on the 5i25's p2?

And I can "setp hm2_5i25.0.pwmgen.00.scale" and "value" parameters, but 
no output pins show up? Should they not be the 5i25's GPIO-8 and GPIO-9 
which then show up as dir4+- and step4+- on TB3 of the 7i76? setting 
num_pwmgens=2 makes it so, so that question is answered.

Confusing, this having a documentation wall between the parent board and 
the daughter board.

Thank you Andy. Stay well please.
