'Name for "get ready to run" mode
This is a vocabulary question. I do now know where else to ask a question like that, because forums related to the English language are not filled with people who would be aware of what terms feel right to use in a plant.
I have a concept of a "get ready to run" mode in my project. This mode is not manual at all, it is just an automatic mode the intent of which is to get ready to switch to the main "run" mode.
I am looking for the right name for this mode. I am not a native English speaker, and I am not sure my current favorite, "stanbdy", is a good choice. This term is going to be used all over the place, both in code and in HMIs (including as a button label). Getting it right is important. A short, meaningful and intuitive term is required.
Is "standby" a good choice, and are there other, better options?
Solution 1:[1]
Yes. From Merriam-Webster:
standby adjective
1 : held near at hand and ready for use
- a standby power plant
- standby equipment
Also it is something everyone knows, so I wouldn't go with some other term. Not that I would know an alternative.
