# HoldTime

Select a minimum hold time for the push button. The application keeps the button pressed for this length of time even if the operator releases the button sooner.

The hold time should reflect network traffic. Increasing the hold time prevents a very quick button press from being missed by the data source. If the data source is a memory tag, network traffic is not an issue. If you are using a memory tag, click the shortest hold time.

The operator cannot press the button again until the hold time has expired. If a display containing the button is closed before the hold time has expired, the hold time will be reset, the button will be reset to state 0 and the value for state 0 will be written out immediately.
