    DESCRIPTION
        This command sets up the maximum accelerations and velocities.
	Since the kuper card works at 120 samples per second, the values
	represent the number of pulses per sample, or the number
	of pulses per 1/120th of a second. 

	Acceleration values are used for ramping. As the motor comes up to 
	speed, it will do so in increments specified by the 'acceleration'.

	Velocity values are the maximum running velocities. The motor will
	not go faster than the maximum velocity supplied.
