This command is used along with a second command to setup software ratchets. The
ratchet "index" is a number from 0 to 7. Software ratchets are sources that can ignore,
negate, or buffer both positive and negative pulses.
When a ratchet is set up for buffering, pulses in the buffering direction are added to an
internal count instead of causing the ratchet output to change. Pulses in the normal
direction are first used to unbuffer previously buffered pulses. When there are no more
pulses to unbuffer, the ratchet tracks normally.
The following is a list of valid ratchet command combinations:
