Let's say I had a machine with 5tpi screws, 2:1 reduction from motor to
screw, 200 step/rev motors and I wanted a basic unit of movement of .00025"
(I'm half stepping the motor) with a max feed rate of 120"/min. That works
out to 8kHz at 120"/min. I'd be happy with that for my stepper applications.
I'd like the following output step rates:

8000 Hz
7999 Hz
7998 Hz
<...>
3 Hz
2 Hz
1 Hz
.9 Hz
etc.

Can this be done without locking up the GUI? If so, how?
