It also displays angles over 360 degrees, and it’s important to note this is a calculated position as the internal sensor can only read 0 to 360 degrees. The multi-turn angle is retained even after a power cycle.

The position section shows the current angle of the output shaft of the servo in relation to its configured angular origin (0 degrees, including any adjustments using the Origin Offset command). It also displays angles to 0.01 degrees of accuracy, as well as below 0 degrees and over 360 degrees. It’s important to note any angle beyond 0 to 360 is a calculated, or "virtual" position as the internal sensor can only read 0 to 360 degrees.
