    So it's not Mach.
    I am starting to think that maybe this board is one of those.
    I have checked and double checked the settings, and although I can get each axis to move independently I cannot get them to slave.
    I have added some images of my settings. The motors all work with these settings, but no slaving at all.

    It's common for external motion controllers to move these options into the plug-in so have you gone into the config plug-in settings.?

    You will find this in Config Menu under Config plugins, then it opens another window showing all the installed plugins, click the yellow config button which relates to your board and it will open the plugin so you can change the settings.

    Edit: Note, not all the plugins will open a settings window.
    -use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.

    I have tried that Jazz, the plugin seems to be fixed and not editable. Nothing happens when clicking the yellow button.

    Ok well you might be screwed then regards proper slaving, you could always just connect both drives to one motor output, it's not the correct way but will get you working. The downside is you can't home each side independent to square the gantry without getting creative.

    OK, I contacted the seller of this board and asked some questions and here is the answer.
    So now we all know that if you want this feature, DON'T GET THIS BOARD.

    If you do go down the AXBB-E and UCCNC route then delivery to Australia from the supplier in Hungary is pretty quick via DHL. I bought one a few months back and it took 7 days to get from Hungary to Melbourne and another 7 days to get across the water to Devonport! It will allow auto-squaring of the gantry, I wrote about how to do it at the time.
