Some thoughts:

1) The user-configurable ramp feaure in the Jag is available only if CAN bus is being used to command the Jag.

2) I think they may want to ramp in one direction only. Does the ramp feature in the Jags allow for that?

3) What is the slowest ramp rate supported by the Jag ramp feature? Sounds like they are going to need something on the order of seconds, not fractions of a second. Is that supported?
