    Can it be used for differently configured 5 and 6 axis setups ?
    Some of systems with # of axis >4 sometime are configured differently, i guess that probably is a question for the g-code conversion software used.

    You can set up different configurations and choose them when you start the software, or set up an icon for each config.
