4.3.3.3  Minimal Pulse Duration 
The minimal pulse duration defines the minimum time, the switching signal of the related SSC stays active or 
inactive after the change of its status. 
This parameter can be applied on  
-  both slopes / active and inactive 
-  positive slope / active (or inactive, if the logic is inverted as described in section 4.3.2.1) 
-  negative slope / inactive (or active, if the logic is inverted as described in section 4.3.2.1) 
When to apply? 
-  To align the timing of the sensor to a slower PLC. 
-  To avoid bouncing. 
-  To avoid false pulses due to short losses of a proper signal. 
-  To straighten the clock / pace
