About Taper and Ramp Times
The Command Options tab’s Taper Times and Ramp Times values set the transition times between run, hold,
and stop states.

The initial default setting for all times is 2.0 seconds.
Transition sources
Transitions between run, hold, and stop states can be initiated from many sources, including:
• The Station Manager window’s Program Stop, Program Hold, and Program Run buttons
• User-defined actions
• Model 494.05 Handset
• The Remote Station Control (RSC) panel
• BTW applications
• MPT applications
Transition states
When using the Station Manager Program Stop, Program Hold, and Program Run buttons, the following
applies:
• Clicking Program Run initiates the transition to the run state.
• Clicking Program Stop initiates the transition to the stop state.
• Clicking Program Hold initiates the transition to the hold state.
• Clicking Program Run after Program Hold initiates the transition to the run state.
Note:
Requires Tuning access level (or higher) to edit any item.
Taper Time Settings
Taper Times specify the time it takes command waveforms to go from zero amplitude to peak amplitude or
from peak amplitude to zero amplitude. This sets the transition time, where tapers are used, between run,
hold, and stop states.
