Re: victor 884 basics

There wasn't actually any measurement involved, as I wasn't actually testing how many steps the Victor gave. I had just calibrated the Victor and was turning the pot when I noticed it jumping. The numbers I posted above were merely meant to illustrate the general problem that I was having of an extreme lack of precision in one direction, not as hard data on what was actually happening. Sorry for any confusion there, and thanks for the tips on how to actually measure it.
