Bear in mind that the scale on that Pitch Trim Position trace, though not labelled, is graduated in degree (unit) and half-degree increments from 0° to 7°.

We're told in a previous post that a single revolution of the trim wheel only moves the stab up or down by one-tenth of a degree (though I've seen another source that suggests it's even less than that).
