Transition 
In programming 
the 
PC40, 
the 
transition values refer 
to 
the 
end-point 
of 
(continued)  each delay and 
each 
duration. Each 
end
-point is defined in relation to 
the 
trigger signal, which is 
the 
starting point 
of 
the entire transition 
sequence. Each transition value is a distance measure that 
is 
converted 
to 
time values.

NOTE: 
The 
initial 
delay 
for an application with a leading edge trigger 
has to account for the trigger 
to 
gun distance (A in Figure 4.3)  plus 
the 
distance from 
the 
leading edge to the first transition 
(Bin 
Figure 4.3). 
The first transition 
(f1) in Figure 4.3 is 
700 
ms
. 
The 
700 
ms length 
includes the trigger to 
gun 
interval of 400 
ms 
plus 
the 
300 
ms 
from 
the 
leading edge 
of 
the 
substrate 
to 
the 
first delay interval. 
The second transition 
(f2) is 
1000 
ms, which 
is 
the 
end point 
of 
the first 
duration 
In 
relation 
to 
the 
trigger 
signal. It is important not to confuse 
the 
length 
of 
the duration, 300 ms, with 
the 
transition, T2, 
wh
ich 
is 
1000 ms.
