# Time Monitoring (elapsed time)

Time monitoring is available for all tightening strategies except Rotate. Time monitoring can be activated when angle limits are activated. Time monitoring is available for the rundown step and the final step of the tightening step.

To minimize the risk of unexpected jerk at the end of the tightening when using the TurboTight tightening strategy, make sure to activate Time monitoring.

Since handling the trace takes time, there is always a short difference between the Program elapsed time compared to Step elapsed time . This is especially noticeable in programs containing only one step.

When using an STB tool it is not possible to use time monitoring if all monitoring options are switched on.
