second. If this is not selected, the code pulse duration is

Node Control Enable
Setting this option enables the Node Control feature and
makes available Control Transfer options (radio buttons),
to allow the user to select which method of node control is
desired. The default selection is Standalone/Degraded
Mode. Controls that are to be restricted have the
CR
flag
set in column F4. Controls without this flag set can be
used on any node, regardless of control.
Standalone/Degraded Mode
Restricted controls can be used freely on any node
designated as a Primary node.
There may be multiple Primary nodes active at the same
time.
Restricted controls become available to non-Primary
nodes if they lose communication with all Primary nodes
on the network.
Node Ctrl Switch
Restricted controls can be used only on the in control
node.
Only one node can be in control at a time.
Control is acquired, requested, and passed using node
control switches on each node.
