Example
Explanation
The electronic gear is set to an 8/1 ratio before the MOVE_R 2000
command. The motor (follower) is then synchronized and waits
for an input to start a new MOVE_R command with a different
electronic gear, this time 4 to 1.
Note The synchronization time lasts 2 ms due to the fetching time for
the new gear setting.
