You could be seeing a commanded idle afr of 10:1 and your wideband could still be displaying between 14.4-15.1 It’s dependent on how the program is setup.
The commanded A/F is a setting that you decide it’s value based on tuning experience. It will only track your wideband sensor if you have every thing set up correctly.
A standard NB oxygen sensor in good condition switching in closed loop will give a very accurate reading of 14.7:1 on a well calibrated wideband sensor so look in your logs and note when your commanded A/F is 14.7:1 and see what your wideband is reading.
The wideband sensor will ONLY follow the commanded A/F ratio if you have setup and tuned your engine correctly. If at idle your commanded A/F is 14.2:1 your wideband should be the same.
This takes quite some time to achieve.
