Test the tensioning torque:
With the integrated oscilloscope, record the nominal current (I nominal) of
the master and the slave axes at standstill.
Send a step to the speed controller and, with the integral oscilloscope,
record the nominal current of the master and slave axes.
If there is a discontinuity in the course of the nominal current, increase the
tensioning torque for the slave axis in MP_torqueBias.
For identical motors, the factors of the speed controller should be identical
to ensure identical dynamic behavior.

The lower the ratio of the total mass moment of inertia (transmission,
machine table, etc.) to the motor mass moment of inertia, the smaller the
required tensioning torque is (MP_torqueBias).
