I'm not entirely sure; our experience with Jaguars has been quite dismal, so we've never actually had to use this command. If their shooter is that difficult to turn though, wouldn't they want bidirectional ramping regardless?

According to the CAN guide (see p14), the user-configurable rate is a "16-bit 8.8 unsigned fixed point number", so I would suppose so (but cannot confirm).
