"ERROR: The base (rail) axes label tag in the ROBX file is not valid. Posting will be stopped."
- The label must be of the following format: BS#_E# where # is between 1-3.
  - For example: BS1_E1, BS3_E2, etc.
- "ERROR: The station (rotary) axes label tag in the ROBX file is not valid. Posting will be stopped."
  - The label must be of the following format ST#_R# where # is between 1-4.
    - For example: ST1_E1, ST3_E2, etc.

NOTE:

The BS# and ST# represent the machine unit name which is seen in the robotic code on the control group line.

The E# and R# represent the external axis label name which is used to map the output of the external axis to the specific.
