This identifier is a secondary address that indicates the type of message, in this case output functionality.
0 Output Configuration

4.3.1.2 Output Channel
This specifies which output channel, 1-12, is configured by the message.
1 = Channel 1, 2 = Channel 2, 3 = Channel 3, etc.
Data Length:

4.3.1.3 Soft-Start Step Size
Motors and lamps often require soft-starting to reduce the in-rush current and prevent the PDM from producing
over-current errors. Also lights can be soft-started to reduce the in-rush current and potentially extend the
filament life.
1 = 1%, 2 = 2%, 3 = 3%, etc.
255 (FFh) = 100% (Soft-Start disabled)

PGN:
Soft-start step size is a PWM value representing a percentage in which the output is increased
in steps. Depending on the mode (i.e. lamp or motor) selected, the time between each step
varies. The first step lasts 500 ms in either mode. The subsequent steps are only 20 ms in
lamp mode. Alternately, the motor mode remains at 500 ms step intervals. Lower percentage
soft-start values therefore equate to longer soft-start times.
