Properties of the function
Function G04 is not modal, therefore, it must be programmed every
time a dwell is desired.
Function G04 may also be programmed as G4.
"G04 K<time>" (or also "G04 < time> "when the time is
programmed with a constant)
"#TIME [<time>]" (or also "#TIME < time>" when the time is
programmed with either a constant or a
parameter)
Different ways to program a dwell using function G04 and the #TIME
instruction.
G04 K0.5 (0.5 second dwel)
G04 5 (5 second dwel)
...
P1=3
G04 KP1 (3 second dwel)
G04 K[P1+7] (10 second dwel)
...
#TIME 1 (1 second dwel)
...
P1=2
#TIME P1 (2 second dwel)
#TIME [P1+7] (9 second dwel)
