G4 Dwell time in seconds

Temporally defined dwell time with defined duration in seconds and automatic program continuation. The dwell time must always be specified, i.e. it does not take effect modally. The command works in blocks. Dwelling begins only when the previously programmed motion path has been run in its entirety. The program indicator switches ahead only when the time has elapsed (even when the time is set to "0"), therefore leading to an exact stop. The G-command must be placed before the parameter. Specifying the parameter is mandatory. The parameter identifier is freely selectable but must be present. An equal sign between the identifier and value is optional and is used to improve legibility. When importing, note that the time in [s] that is specified in the G-code is converted into [ms] for the WAIT_TIME command. The conversion is displayed as an expression in the SRL program (e.g. 0.8 s = 0.8 * 1000 ms). Besides specifying a constant value, a REAL variable can also be used. The value of the REAL variable is also interpreted in [s].

Parameter:

• Parameter name (a-z, A-Z)
• Equal sign: "=" (optional)

Syntax: Observe Note on the syntax explanation

G4 (a-z,A-Z)[=]<REAL>

Example:

G4 Time0.5

G4 Time=0.5

G4 Time=WaitTimeReal

G4 T0.5

G4 T=0.5

G4 TWaitTimeReal

Implementation in the SRL program:

WAIT_TIME (<REAL> * 1000 ) [ms]
