Time-Based Alternation
Program Virtual Linear Pump Time-Based Alternation
This parameter is enabled for use by completing the Virtual Linear Pump 
Setup Wizard.
Time-Based Alternation operation is enabled by setting this parameter (F417) 
to an operating mode and assigning a discrete input terminal to the TBA HOA 
Switch function and activating the terminal.
During Time-Based Alternation operation, and while running in the Virtual 
Linear Pump mode, this parameter Enables/Disables the ability of the system 
to receive transducer input to manage system starts and stops as it pertains to 
the process variable.
This parameter is also used to select the Lead ASD response (Stop or Start) 
upon meeting the criteria of 
F388 and F389 settings.
Forward Auto = Run the ASD while the measured signal is  F388 setting, 
and stop the ASD upon reaching the F389 setting.
