4. Deceleration
   The action of changing speed from any speed to a lower speed, irrespective of direction. Depending on drive design, the control of deceleration time may be known as 'Down time', 'Down rate' or similar variant. It is important to remember that some drive designs apply a single rate control to negativ...
