Electronic Gearing and Camming

Use electronic gearing or camming to synchronize the movement of one or more slave axes to the movement of a master device, which can be an encoder, ADC, or the trajectory of another axis. The movement of the slave axes may be at a higher or lower gear ratio than the master. For example, every turn of the master axis may cause a slave axis to turn twice.
