Dwell Command Process
About the Dwell Command Process
The Dwell Command process is a single segment designed to hold your
command at a static level for a specified amount of time.
When you define a Dwell Command process you must specify the duration of
the command as a time or a frequency:
• Time specifies the amount of time to run the single dwell command
segment.
• Frequency specifies the frequency of a command cycle (two-segments).
Since a dwell command is a single segment, the actual dwell command hold
time is half of the frequency setting. (For example, a frequency setting of 2
Hz holds the command for 0.25 seconds.)
