G.SOAK at the start of a segment
The G.SOAK wait period starts at the beginning of the segment and the pattern
stops progressing.
While G.SOAK is waiting, the SEG (segment) number display on the monitor
screen blinks.
If the deviation (the absolute value) between the PV and SP is the same as or
smaller than the G.SOAK width for a period equaling or exceeding the G.SOAK
time, the G.SOAK wait period is canceled, and pattern operation resumes.
The figure below shows an example of G.SOAK at the start of Segment 3.

Handling Precautions
• The minimum resolution of the G.SOAK time for operation is the control cycle.
In addition, when the G.SOAK time is 0.0000, if the deviation (the absolute
value) between the PV and SP becomes equal to or smaller than the G.SOAK
width for only one control cycle, the G.SOAK wait period is canceled.
