or off
If Pulsed is selected, then enter the amount of time (in seconds
or tenths of seconds) for the relay to remain on. The maximum
amount of time that a relay can pulse is 999.9 seconds.
The pulse length must expire before the program
continues to run.

The Auxiliary Function step cannot be used to start or end a
continuous path.
Press the USE key
The Auxiliary Function requires the AMI hardware for
these settings to take effect automatically, otherwise
they will activate operator prompts that must be
responded to during the machining operation.
