In order to clear the factored data 0 must be loaded into the Preset / K
Factor, Limit / M Factor and Limit / R Factor registers.  After entering 0
into these registers bit 15 of the module Configuration register
must be toggled from 0 to 1 and then back to 0.

There are 4 registers assigned for each Channels output configuration
word.  The first register assigned is the channel configuration register.
The next 3 registers are the Preset / K Factor, Limit / M Factor and Limit
/ R Factor registers respectively.

Refer to Page 24 for detailed information regarding the output
configuration registers and their functions.
