The main use cases of a virtual axis are:
• As perfect master axis of the machine. All the other axes follow this
virtual master axis.
• As auxiliary axis to split a complex profile into two or more simple
movements, each assigned to a virtual axis. These movements can be
added together with the BASIC command ADDAX then assigned to a
real axis
