The BBB Xylotex.ini file Axis 3 is set as:
TYPE = ANGULAR
Currently the comment for SCALE is
# scale is 200 steps/rev * 8 uSteps/rev * 10 TPI.
SCALE=32000

I can see for a linear axis how this works although 32,000 doesn't match 
the 16,000 in the comment.  Is the scale ultimately the number of steps it 
needs to move 1 degree?

So if I have a servo controlled rotary indexer that is 75000 encoder pulses 
per rev of the faceplate then SCALE is 208.33333?

Or is SCALE set to the number of steps(pulses) per 360 degrees?

Ultimately the goal is that the G Code 
A1.000 
moves one degree right?
