I have a question that the documentation doesn't seem to answer (or I am 
too obtuse to get it). With the encoders, how many ticks do they offer for 
a full 360 degree turn? It may help to explain my question by making a 
guess which you can correct.

I am guessing that it can do 7 bits(128) ticks in one turn (goes with the 
selection mode some sw uses) and that in high resolution mode one turn 
still does 128 ticks so that it would take 128 turns for 0 to full scale. 
It may be possible to set resolution in between as well. That is, in 14 
bit mode, one tick may do 2, 10, 16 or some other number of consecutive 14 
bit values. I am also guessing no detents.

Some of these assumtions are from a user POV, having 14 bits worth of 
values in one turn would be very hard to get physical accuracy. That is, 
it would be very hard for my fingers to turn the encoder one 14 bit tick 
at a time if they were stuffed into 360 degrees.
