Does it affect anything that the motor is an analog device and needs an analog signal (PWM)??

BTW, part of the problem is that the PWM control of the victors is a carry over of the PWM of radio control model servos. Originally all RC systems were analog, but now here we are with these digital FIRST controllers interfaced to Victor speed controllers, with a legacy-analog PWM signal format. :^)

It's pulse position modulation for the incoming signal not pulse width modulation. Pulse width modulation is the signal that controsl the motor.
