Please note the GAP time does not create a gap or cause any delay when items are in
transportation. The Gap timer is only activated when a given zone accumulates an item and
then it is allowed to release
!
If more than one consecutive zone is configured as Gap Train; then each of these zones
will in turn require that their respective gap timers expire. If the time value is long enough,
the result may appear to be Singulation Release mode or even Singluation Release with
extra time delay. 0.2 to 0.3 seconds are typical values used when you want to help balance
the loading on your power supplies but still have the operation be very close to Train
Release Mode
