+#scale:
+# This parameter can be used to alter how the 'wiper_x' parameters
+# are interpreted. If provided, then the 'wiper_x' parameters should
+# be between 0.0 and 'scale'. This may be useful when the MCP4451 is
+# used to set stepper voltage references. The 'scale' can be set to
+# the equivalent stepper amperage if the MCP4451 were at its highest
+# resistance, and then the 'wiper_x' parameters can be specified
+# using the desired amperage value for the stepper. The default is
+# to not scale the 'wiper_x' parameters.
