The answer is that it depends on the type of firmware you are using.



Let us look at the documentation of G4 to find that G4 is valid for all the listed firmware types:
enter image description here




Pause the machine for a period of time.




Furthermore it states that:




Parameters



  • Pnnn Time to wait, in milliseconds (In Teacup, P0, wait until all previous moves are finished)

  • Snnn Time to wait, in seconds (Only on Repetier, Marlin, Smoothieware, and RepRapFirmware 1.16 and later)



It clearly shows that the S parameter (which defines the pause in seconds) is only supported by a few firmware types. Do note that this documentation may not be up-to-date, so it is best to look into the source code or the users manual of the particular firmware you are using.



E.g. if you are using Marlin Firmware, G4 S20 will pause the machine for 20 seconds while G4 P2000 will pause the machine for 2000 milliseconds which is 2 seconds. This means that a different time is requested, to have 20 seconds waiting time you could use G4 P20000



To answer your question what the actual difference between the 2 commands is:



  • it is either 18 seconds of extra waiting time if your firmware supports the S parameter, or

  • a firmware that skips or chokes on the command because it is not supported (that also probably depends on your firmware).

    The code G4 refers to dwell. (From what I'm seeing, it can be written as either G4 or G04). Pis the length of dwell time, usually in milliseconds. The parameter S seems to be invalid, because the only inputs are X (seconds), P (milliseconds), or U (undefined). If you have S20 in your code, it is invalid, whereas P2000 will cause all axes to remain unmoving for 2 seconds before moving on.



    (Note: Not all machines will accept X or U.)
