Gear ratio (relative) If you activate this option, all calculations are based on
relative values (values relative to the master axis).
Use standard velocity
(Setting (axis))
If you activate this option, the configured standard velocity
of the axis which you specified under Accept from axis is
accepted. All calculations are based on absolute values.

Linear axis If you select this option, you simulate the slave axis as a
linear axis.
Rotary axis If you select this option, you simulate the slave axis as a
rotary axis.
Modulo rotary axis If you select this option, you simulate the slave axis as a
modulo rotary axis.
Type Here you select the axis type.
Unit of measure Here you specify the unit of measure for the axis. Select a
unit of measure or enter the unit of measure. The
