I believe this is incorrect.

Be and Bc are "bits in the sampling interval (125 ms)", not per second.
Therefore in your example, Bc and Be are both 4000, not 32000. The FRTS
values of CIR and MINCIR are per second.

Depending upon the behavior you want to create, the other values may be
wrong too. Here's the doc that worked for me
