    Delay a feeding rotation after pressing FeedA

    If FeedA 000 Then FeedB
    If FeedB 003 Then FeedC
    If FeedC 000 Then ON

    What are you trying to achieve? What you show is not possible.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    I would like to hit FeedA to turn off some channels for feed mode A then after a couple minutes the AFS rotates one feeding.

    I guess I could set up a different feed mode to turn off some things then wait a couple minutes and hit a different feed mode for the AFS. Duh

    If you want something triggered by a feed mode but not right away do something like this

    if feed a 003 then on
    if feed a 000 then off

    turns on for the duration of feed a and stays on an additional 3 minutes
    but is turned off for the duration of feed a

    you will get it on only for 3 minutes after feed a expires. You will need to set the feed a time to your delay and adjust the extra time to suit your needs

    So say I have an AC pump on this channel with this code:

    Set OFF
    If feedA 003 Then ON
    If feedA 000 Then OFF

    And feed mode A has a duration of 5 minutes. So I hit feed mode A and 5 minutes later the pump goes on and stays on for 3 minutes and goes off again and stays off?

    Correct.
