• Node types at the beginning of a path: Simple, Relay, Terminus, Gateway.
• Node types at the end of a path: Relay, Terminus, Gateway.
• Keep the Motor Gaps consistent over the length of the path and over the entire system
if possible to make creation of the Node Controller Configuration File simpler.
NOTE: Different size gaps between motors must be identified in the Node Controller
Configuration File (see the QuickStick Configurator User Manual,
MMI-UM009).
