limits az_min, az_max, el_min, el_max, dk_min, dk_max

Calibrate the limits of the azimuth, elevation and deck encoders.

Arguments:
EncoderCount az_min
The minimum azimuth encoder count.
EncoderCount az_max
The maximum azimuth encoder count.
EncoderCount el_min
The minimum elevation encoder count.
EncoderCount el_max
The maximum elevation encoder count.
EncoderCount dk_min
The minimum deck encoder count.
EncoderCount dk_max
The maximum deck encoder count.

Example:
The following example uses hexadecimal notation to specify minimum and maximum encoder values for the three axes of the telescope.
 limits -0x200000, 0x300000,
         0x1c71c7, 0x400010,
         0,       -0xA0000

Context:
Before the control system can point the telescope, the limits command must be invoked to tell it what the legal encoder ranges are.
