PLC Output Pulse Width

Defines the output pulse width of all pulsed PLC outputs. The
range can be adjusted from 1 to 120 ms. The output pulse from
inspection functions is timed to pulse at the moment detection is
made. The Total Reject Output pulse occurs when the rejector is
fired. The Total Throughput pulse occurs when the container
passes through the inspection trigger.
