Ekos/Indi: How to set minimum and maximum travel for a focusr?

Ekos/Indi: How to set minimum and maximum travel for a focusr? was created by Wes Mitchell

The documentation for both Ekos and ZWO EAF mention "go to zero position". But neither one ever says how to SET zero position (drawtube fully retracted).
How do I make sense out of this? What is the function/meaning of the fields in the control panel for "Relative/Absolute/Maximum" Position?
How do I set the zero position so that I still have a couple of mm play? Same for the maximum?

Wes,
That is a mechanical setting not covered by the INDI driver, I know this is not for your specific focuser, but this is worth a read through, there's some good concise information in it that explains the process.
