A slave link is a field that is linked to a master field and its
associated slider. The first link selected is the "master;" all other
links to the same slider are the "slaves." A slave link is designated
by a prime (apostrophe) after the link letter (for example, B').
Changing the value of the master link allows the user to change the
values of the associated slave links by a similar proportion. Changing
the value of a slave link will change the ratio between the slave link
and the other links of that slider.

treatment of slaves was strictly controlled by law. In most cases,

him as he wanted.

A node that is controlled by the central computer or hub.
www.angiesweb.co.uk/ou/glossary1.htm

A machine or component controlled by another machine or component.
When two devices are synchronized to one another it is necessary to
have one be the master and the other the slave. The slave unit responds
to commands or information from the master and is thus controlled by
it. This is the basic principle behind all synchronization in audio and
video. For example, if a computer system is following an analog tape
machine (or video deck) it can be said to be "slaved" to it.
