The behavior during the off period is to decay the fly-back/freewheeling current from the motor. Instead of redirecting the current back into the system like the Talon, the Talon SR simply connects the motor leads together. The observed mechanical behavior for both open and closed loop control among both devices is almost identical.

Both methods result in a very rapid decay of flyback current.
