Within the function editor in CIM.  You'll see that when I get a chance at 
Camtasia this week.  I've got 200 video pod kits to produce and that makes 
other things take a back seat.

Yes.  Note that "=" is ASSIGNMENT and not an equality test.

Yes.

Yes.

There will be a separate analog output function called SetAnalogOutput() 
or something similar.  I'm waiting for hardware to test with right now. 
(Go USPS! *laughs*
