If the output logic turns Off before the cycle limit is reached, you can
configure the pulse cycles to continue until the cycle limit is reached by
enabling the Execute All Cycles option.
Figure 16 shows a cycle limit of 2
with the Execute All Cycles option enabled.

Minimum On Time, Extend Cycle, and Stagger Output
The Minimum On Time, Extend Cycle, and Stagger Output configuration
options are useful in time-proportional control applications, such as temperature
control. In these applications, PID calculations compare the actual temperature
to the desired setpoint and vary the PWM On time to a heating element in real
time to regulate temperature as it approaches the setpoint, as shown in
Figure 17 .

Output Logic
Both cycles are executed even though the output
logic turned Off before the cycle limit was reached.
