3.5 Release Rate

This configuration causes a gradual release of the attenuation when the temperature has been reduced. It can be seen as the decay rate and it’s given in dB/ms.

This slider control goes from a minimum of 0.01 dB/ms up to 1 dB/ms in steps of 0.01 dB/ms; using low values close to the minimum causes a steady release of the attenuation, although it takes longer time for the device to get back to its nominal gain.
