## ⚙️ Configuration Properties

- **Min / Max Values**: Defines the lower and upper bounds of the numeric output (e.g. `0.0 – 1.0`, `0 – 255`, or `-100 to +100`).
- **Step Size**: Granularity for slider increments (e.g. `0.01` for delicate theater fades or `1` for discrete integer DMX steps).
- **Default Value**: Fallback level restored when resetting the workspace.
