BadDog,

I believe you use G4 for the g-code but, I not sure what variable you use to denote how long.
I've used:
G4 #4 (dwell for 4 sec)

Not sure about the Puma

Usually
G4 X4.5 (DWELL FOR 4.5 SEC.)
OR
G4 P4500(DWELL FOR 4500 MSEC)

We have a Mitsubishi control on a Yang lathe. Although the previously mentioned methods are available on Fanuc controls, I always use G4U1. (1 second dwell) on all my machines. Always refers to the 'U' not the one second. It also works on the Yang.

I know SOME controls are configured such that when in IPM mode, G04 means dwell in seconds or milliseconds, and when in IPR mode, dwell means #of revolutions. If you program G04X1., you might get one revolution dwell, and never notice it. Just make sure you're in IPM mode. YMMV
