l
then to 0b1)
rATR (Automatic release)
The rATR bit is used to release the object to ambient pressure (if possible) without any timeout. The rATR bit overrides all other
commands excluding the activation bit (rACT). rACT must be at 0b1 during this action.
0b0 - Normal operation
l
0b1 - Open the valves without any timeout. After an automatic release, rACT must be re-asserted (rACT=0b0 then rACT=0b1).
