SSC-32 And Virtual Ports

Is there any way of turning off a virtual port? I am using an SSC-32 for more ports and was hoping to use the PWM(V0,90) command to set the voltage value of a virtual port. But this command only works for digital ports. I want to connect some LEDs to the virtual ports and turn them on and off.

SSC-32U Pulse Width Modulation

A quick question. If have a couple of 270 degree servos. To get the full rotation I need to set the pulse width range in the SSC-32U configuration to 500-2500. Will this upset other standard 90 degree servos connected to the SSC-32U? The default range on the config was 650-2250, and I was only getting about 220 degrees rotation.

question

PWM Frequency Range

What is the default PWM frequency of the EZ-B v4, and is it adjustable? Im sorry; I should been more precise in my question. Here is what I do know; In a conventional analog servo motor a PWM signal with a period of 20 ms is used to control the motors. A signal of 20 ms has a frequency of 50 Hz. The width of the pulse is varied between 1 and 2 ms...
