Electronic gearbox
The TJ2-MC__ is able to have a gearbox link from one axis to another as if
there is a physical gearbox connecting them. This can be done using the
CONNECT command in the program. In the command the ratio and the axis
to link to are specified.
In the figure, A is the Master axis, and B is the CONNECT axis.
