Returns the cam cycle count.

The cycle count is the number of complete cycles that the cam has
gone through since it was enabled.

Cam cycle count is in cycles.

Returns the cam cycle limit.

The cycle limit is the number of cycles that the cam will go through
before automatically disabling. If the cycle limit is zero, the cam will
run continuously.

• Positive values for limit will disable the cam after the given number

of cycles in the positive direction. No checks are made in the
negative direction.

• Negative values for limit will disable the cam after the given

number of cycles in the negative direction. No checks are made in
the positive direction.

Cam cycle limit is in cycles.
