Relationship to
Grid Voltage%
Delay Time and Grid Voltage% are interactive parameters. For
each Grid Voltage% there is an optimum Delay Time, and for
each Delay Time there is an optimum Grid Voltage%.
The best approach for optimizing Delay Time is to leave the
Grid Voltage% at a fixed value, and optimize Delay Time until
you obtain optimum resolution. For more information, see
Section 5.4.3.4, Optimizing Delay Time.
Adjusting In general:
• Higher masses require a longer Delay Time
• Delay Time is affected by matrix
For more information on Delay Time, see:
