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 sets. Dwelling begins only when the previously programmed motion path has been run in its entirety. The program pointer does not switch on until the time has elapsed and therefore leads to an exact stop (even if the time is set to "0"). The G-command must precede the parameter. Specifying the parameter is mandatory. The parameter identifier must correspond to the address letter F. An equal sign between the identifier and value is optional and is used to improve legibility. If a variable is used, the equal sign must be specified. 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).

INFORMATION: Unlike the ISO standard, this command accepts only the address letter F as the parameter identifier.

Parameter:

Parameter name (F)

Syntax: Observe Notation of the command syntax

G4 F[=]<REAL>

or

G4 F=<REAL Variable>

Example:

G4 F0.5

G4 F=0.5

G4 F=WaitTime

Implementation in the SRL program:

WAIT_TIME (<REAL> * 1000 ) [ms]

or

WAIT_TIME (<REAL Variable> * 1000 ) [ms]
