Look at the arc good LED, when it comes on then deactivate the signal

ActivateSignal(Output2)
DoSpinCW

While not GetOemLed(36)
    Loop

DeactivateSignal(output2)

Timeout =0
ActivateSignal(Output2)
DoSpinCW

While not GetOemLed(36)
Sleep(1000)
Timeout = Timeout+1
If Timeout >1
End
End IF
    Loop

DeactivateSignal(output2)

Something like that may work
