10’6”—six inches too long (ending late)
—and the line marked as 2 is 9’10”— two inches too
short (starting late)
. To solve the delay, use the following equation:
Take 56.8, divided by the speed at which you were striping, and multiply it by the number
of inches that you were off by. Use a positive number. The result will be time in ms.
In
our above examples, line 1 is off by 34.08ms
, and line 2 is off by 11.36ms
. Round to the
nearest whole (down if the decimal value is below four, up if the value is above five).
To fix line 1, we would set the gun’s off delay
to -34ms
. This would essentially remove 6
inches worth of active striping time from the gun, ensuring future lines are 10 feet in
length. This means it will shut off 34ms
earlier than without the delay. (If it were a
positive value it would shut off
later
instead
).
To fix line 2, we would set the gun’s on delay
to -11ms
. This would essentially add 2
inches worth of striping time to the start of the cycle. This means it will activate 11ms
earlier than without the delay. (If it were a positive value, it would activate
later
insead
).
