Maybe worth just stating the normal interface here as well because
it's not clear from these examples if
out_voltageY_raw still exists for toggle enabled channels (I'm assuming not?)

ABI seems good to me, just a few comments on details of the documentation.

Thanks,

We'll have to be careful if we ever generalize these docs but what you have here
is fine whilst it applies to just this device.

Units.

Units.  Radians, or refer to the main _phase docs and say it's the same.

Say why this is useful (presumably toggle with a clock rather than via _symbol)

Same as what?

You could combine this with previous and have two what lines.  Might allow
a slightly more compact clear description.

Ah. That answers one of my binding related questions :)  You have kept
software control as an option for toggle.
