(8) Set the magnification of cam data to be applied in MasterScaling and SlaveScaling. Set the magnification of the main axis
data in MasterScaling, and set the magnification of the serve axis data. Refer to the Figure below.
SlaveScaling = 1.0
SlaveScaling = 2.0
MasterScaling = 1.0 MasterScaling = 2.0

(9) MasterSyncPosition input specifies the position of the main axis within the table where the synchronization of actual cam operation is
completed, and MasterStartDistance input specifies the relative position of the main axis where the synchronization starts. If unable to
start synchronized operation at Cycle 1 as shown below (if the distance from the start position to the synchronized operation start
position is shorter than MasterStartDistance), synchronized operation starts at Cycle 2.
