Meanwell "D" analog with PWM RA

Anyone fed the dimming port of a meanwell (ELN-60-48D) with the PWM signal from the RA? (ordered the PWM version of RA)
Does it work? (Think I read it will but the dimming won't be linear)

I've got the daylights on PWM dimmable drivers but am trying to use my old drivers for the actinic..
Also I read something about a jumper in the outlet box..
Can I just pull (or add) the jumper for the actinics channel only and have PWM (daylight) and analog (actinic)?

Yes, the dimming will not be linear, but it will still dim.
The revision 8.1 is the only one that has such jumpers.

and if I open the outlet box and see those jumpers will it work that I can have 1 channel analog and 1 PWM by pulling just one of the jumpers?
I assume there is no way to know which rev I have without opening it?
I ordered it on 10/16/2012

Yes, you can have one of each.
You will need to open it up.
I can't remember when I started shipping 8.1
