Load encoder advice

Hi guys,

I’m thinking about adding a Load encoder to monitor motion of a linear shaft and rotate the motor axis at a certain corresponding ratio. If anyone could answer these questions that would be great!

Can both the commutation encoder position and load encoder position be read independently?

Is it possible to position Axis 0 using the commutation encoder, then switch to using the load encoder as the motion reference?

Does ODrive support electronic gearing, where Axis 0 follows load encoder movement with a configurable ratio rather than a direct 1:1 relationship?

Can an axis operate normally from STEP/DIR for positioning, then be switched into an electronic gearing / load-encoder-following mode during a process, before returning to normal position control afterwards? Without requiring reboot

Thanks!
