Dwell:
Dwell (G4) can be used to program a delay between blocks. A Timed
Dwell is a timed stop. An Infinite Dwell is a stop that can be canceled
only by pressing START. With a dwell activated, the 3500i halts
motions on all axes, but other functions (coolant on/off, spindle
control) remain active. Do not program any other commands.
The time countdown is displayed in the Machine Status Area of the
Manual Data Input, and Program Run screens.
 Select the More Milling button, and then "Dwell" from
the pop-up menu.
 Conversational format: Dwell 15 (hold for 15 seconds), or Dwell 0
(hold infinitely).
 G-code format: G4 T15 (hold for 15 seconds), or G4 T0 (hold
infinitely)
It is recommended that the Programmed Stop M-function
(M00) be used instead of an infinite dwell.
