Nope, it is an artifact of the way you must be converting spindle speed 
(S words)
to DAC output.  Here's some code from my univstep_io.hal file :

# set scale for 5000 RPM MAX and connect spindle speed to USC DAC
setp ppmc.0.DAC8.00.scale 500.0
newsig spinspeed float
linksp spinspeed <= motion.spindle-speed-out
linksp spinspeed => ppmc.0.DAC8.00.value

Note we are sending the speed as a float to the DAC value input, and
scaling with 500 there.  Assuming a 10 V maximum output = 5000 RPM,
then the factor of 500.0 does the correct scaling.
