EOS Profile Question

I am putting together a new Profile for a ML that doesn't have one in the library. I've built a few in the past but while I understand the "DMX" side (Min, Home and Max" I never really understood the "User" side. This will sometimes have values same as the "DMX" side but other times, completely different (often much lower) values?

    You can have Live/Blind tabs show more understandable numbers than the ones actually sent to the fixture. The ones displayed are the user values, the ones output are the DMX values.

    Take a moving light with a 16bit pan parameter. The DMX output ranges from 0 to 65535, whereas the values displayed might be something like -270° to +270°. Whenever you have real-live units on screen (like degrees or hertz) you're looking at a user value that represent a different DMX value being output.
