7.7.2 Description
This example opens a TCP connection, kills the Singles Axis group and the XY group.
The program then initializes and homes the groups. It sets the parameters for the master
slave mode (slave: single axis group, master: X positioner from XY group). Then, it
enables the master slave mode and executes a relative move of 20 units with the master
positioner. At the same time, the slave positioner executes the same move as the master.
The master slave mode is then disabled and the program ends by closing the socket.
