They come from the motorRecord:
Max velocity is derived from the VELO field.
The position is of course derived from the VAL field.
Both records fields are divided by MRES and send to the driver and end up 
measured steps
in our move() method.

(This is probably a bad explanation, hope it helps.
 And welcome to the EPICS world)
