-This command is “recycled” for a different use in MicroMirror axes than for piezo. In the context of a MicroMirror axis this command is used to put the axis in internal or external mode.
-**1** is external input mode.  Mirror is positioned based on analog input voltage.  Default mode until v3.10, except for SPIM-enabled systems.
-**0** is internal input mode.  Mirror can be positioned thru serial command or onboard routines.  Default mode for SPIM-enabled systems and v3.10+.

-<asi> $ PM A=1 B=1

-Puts the axes in external input mode

+For TGGALVO card, the bits 0-2 of the specified code sets the output range (values 0-7 in decimal).  Bits 3-7 are reserved for future use.  **Controller reset or restart (after doing ''[Addr#]SAVESET Z'') is needed for setting to take full effect.**  Note that the internal axis units remain from -4000 to +4000, but that range of internal units is mapped to the output range set using the PM command.
