A FollowerAxis follows the sum of the master's position and the MasterOffset value.

Typically, a MasterOffset value is changed while following is off. The MasterOffset may be changed while following is on, but be careful to avoid undesirable motion. The MasterOffset is applied immediately, without any blending. A large change in the MasterOffset with following on will cause the follower to move to the new following position rapidly.

MasterOffset optional features : GetMasterOffset and SetMasterOffset can simplify some applications. Consider the case where one follower axis is supposed to follow a sinewave profile, while another follower axis is supposed to follow a cosine profile. For this case, a single CamProfile containing sinewave data could be shared by both follower axes, where MasterOffset values of 0 and 90 degrees would be set for the sinewave and cosine followers, respectively.
