Hi Ethan,

You can call the axes anything you want but you have to tell the program so
it knows. In the .ini file there is a list of the axes used at the point
where you specify how many axes you will be using. You also need to change
the tkemc files in the .../emc/ directory and in the
.../emc/plat/nonrealtime/.. directory.
