As John said, this needs a longer description. You can look back at
my V6 as an example.

Once again, please rename.

Better yet, why not just use the V6 example instead?  If we are going
to have a testing driver, then I would want the simulated ancillary
code as well.

You should calculate the actual limit of adjustment and use it here.

Thanks,
