<1> When master axis is in relative mode, master position in cam curve = (master
position 0 + master offset 0) / master scaling 1 = 0.
<2> From cam curve, slave position is 0 when master position is 0. Calculation method: f
(0) = 0.
<3> When slave axis is in relative mode, slave position= 0* slave scaling 1 = 0
<4> When slave axis is in relative mode as well as any start-up mode, its actual position
at point B is 227 and the corresponding position in the cam curve is 0. And so the
coordinate of the meshing point B is (144, 227). When master axis moves, following
master axis, slave axis starts to move from point B according to C2 curve.
6. Explanation of relation between scaling and offset
The same formula reflects the relation between scaling and offset as below.
Slave position = f [(master position + master offset)/ master scaling]* slave scaling + slave offset
When the axis is in absolute mode, Master Offset or Slave Offset is valid but must not be negative
value; when the axis is in relative mode, offset parameter is invalid. The scaling parameter is not
affected by the absolute/ relative mode of master and slave axis.
Master scaling =1, slave scaling = 1, master offset = 0, slave offset = 0

Suppose cam is planned as above figure, master and slave scaling are both 1, offsets are 0,
the cam curve will not make any change.
