DVR8301 - lab03a with the POT using as speed dial

Let's say that we will do speed control through the POT on the DVR8301.
The POT has been correctly programmed as followed:
( with the help of http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000/f/902/t/329620.aspx )

hal.c
=====
....

#ifdef USING_POTENTIOMETER
  ADC_setSocChanNumber(obj->adcHandle,ADC_SocNumber_8,ADC_SocChanNumber_B0);
  ADC_setSocTrigSrc(obj->adcHandle,ADC_SocNumber_8,ADC_SocTrigSrc_EPWM1_ADCSOCA);
  ADC_setSocSampleDelay(obj->adcHandle,ADC_SocNumber_8,ADC_SocSampleDelay_9_cycles);
#endif

....

hal_obj.h
=========
{

.....

#ifdef USING_POTENTIOMETER
  _iq       potentiometer;        //!< the potentiometer value
#endif

} HAL_AdcData_t;


hal.h
=====
static inline void HAL_readAdcData(HAL_Handle handle,HAL_AdcData_t *pAdcData)
{
  HAL_Obj *obj = (HAL_Obj *)handle;
 
  ....
 
#ifdef USING_POTENTIOMETER

  // read the dcBus voltage value
  value = (_iq)ADC_readResult(obj->adcHandle,ADC_ResultNumber_8);     // divide by 2^numAdcBits = 2^12

  //  bound pot value so all values near 0 are stored as 0, all near 4095 stored as 4095
  value = (value > 4090) ? 4095 : ((value < 5) ?  0 : value);

  // scale value into IQ24
  pAdcData->potentiometer = value * 4096;

#endif

...

}

1. How to feed the ADC value to the parameter gMotorVars.SpeedRef_krpm?

    I think we have to get the max speed (by calling CTRL_getMaximumSpeed_pu()) and scale it with the
    potentiometer value then feed it to the CTRL:

            // Using the potentiometer here to control the speed
            gMotorVars.SpeedRef_krpm  =       _IQmpy(gAdcData.potentiometer,CTRL_getMaximumSpeed_pu(ctrlHandle));

            // set the speed reference
            CTRL_setSpd_ref_krpm(ctrlHandle,gMotorVars.SpeedRef_krpm);
                    
    Is this the correct way to do it ?

2. when is the CTRL_setMaximumSpeed_pu(handle, value_to_set) get called ?

    I could not find the code when this is called. Do we have do this at initialization time with parameters from
    user.h? If yes, could you show me how the value_to_set would be calculated from the user.h?

    I am thinking to incorporate this code to the lab03a to test out the POT.

Thanks.
