2.2.3.2.3 Liquid Detection Retries Wait Time [27:24]

The liquid detection retries wait time functions similarly to the wait time fields but applies specifically during retry sampling. This enables a faster confirmation cycle than the standard sampling interval, accelerating the transition to the liquid detected state. Figure 3-6 shows the wait time differs during the retry mechanism, thus allowing for a reduced wait time in between samples.
