	SetValue
Set the meter needle to a new position based on the current scaling properties.
[[File:]] -	Value
Needle position between min and max
- VOID	Return

	TurnOff
De-activate the solenoid
- VOID	Return

	DisableMotor
Turn off the motor. It will no longer respond to any other macros.
- VOID	Return

	SetTrim
Allows the level of trim for each servo channel to be adjusted progmatically.
