Software Configuration

Because of signal rerouting, the axis number on your accessory may not
match the programmed axis in your software. With the 2 + 2 connectivity
option, the accessory connected to connector B will refer to the axes as
axis 1 and axis 2, but will be programmed as axis 3 and axis 4, respectively,
in your software. With the 3 + 1 connectivity option, the accessory
connected to connector D will refer to the axis as axis 1 but will be
programmed as axis 4 in your software.
