and m2=0.
To determine the values for
nl
and n2 perform the following steps.
1.
Determine the desired vertical motion dii in inches.
2
Multiply the distance by 360.
3.
Divide the result by 256 using long division.
4.
The remainder in the quotient from step 3 is the value for n1.
5.
The whole number in the quotient from step 3 is the value for n2
EXAMPLE
