This option selects the type of analog remote control being used. Digital remote
control devices (those with a digital display) are configured automatically.

"Push-Pull Gun" = Use this setting wile MIG welding with a push-pull gun
that uses a potentiometer for wire feed speed control (this setting is
backward compatible with "P.17 Gun Selection" = PushPull).

"TIG Amp Control" = Use this setting while TIG welding with a foot or hand
current control device (Amptrol). While TIG welding, the upper left Control
on the User Interface sets the maximum current obtained when the TIG
amp control is at its maximum setting.

"Stick/Gouge Rem." = Use this setting while stick welding or gouging with a
remote output control device. While stick welding, the upper left Control on
the User Interface sets the maximum current obtained when the stick
remote is at it's maximum setting. While gouging, the upper left Control is
disabled and the gouging current is set on the remote control.

"All Mode Remote" = This setting allows the remote control to function in all
weld modes which is how most machines with 6-pin and 7-pin remote
control connections operate.

"Joystick MIG Gun" (European default) = Use this setting while MIG welding
with a push MIG gun with a joystick control. Stick, TIG and gouge welding
currents are set at the User Interface.
Note: On machines that do not have a 12-pin connector, the "Joystick MIG
Gun" settings will not appear.
Determines how trim is displayed

"No" (factory default) = The trim is displayed in the format defined in the
weld set.

"Yes" = All trim values are displayed as a voltage.
Note: This option may not be available on all machines. The power source
must support this functionality, or this option will not appear in the menu.
This option can be used to optionally shut off output if an arc is not established,
or is lost for a specified amount of time. Error 269 will be displayed if the
machine times out. If the value is set to OFF, machine output will not be turned
off if an arc is not established nor will output be turned off if an arc is lost. The
trigger can be used to hot feed the wire (default). If a value is set, the machine
output will shut off if an arc is not established within the specified amount of
time after the trigger is pulled or if the trigger remains pulled after an arc is lost.
To prevent nuisance errors, set Arc Start/Loss Error Time to an appropriate
value after considering all welding parameters (run-in wire feed speed, weld
wire feed speed, electrical stick out, etc). To prevent subsequent changes to
Arc Start/Loss Error Time, the setup menu should be locked out by setting
Preference Lock = Yes using the Power Wave Manager software.
Note: This parameter is disabled while welding in Stick, TIG or Gouge.
This option can be used to change the behavior of the left and right joystick
positions:

"Disable Joystick" = The joystick does not function.

"WFS/Trim" = The left and right joystick positions will adjust Arc Length
Trim, Arc Voltage, Power or STT
selected weld mode. For example, when a non-synergic STT
selected, the left and right joystick positions will adjust Background Current.
When a Power mode is selected, the left and right joystick positions will
adjust the Power (kW).

"WFS/Job" = The left and right joystick positions will:

Select a user memory while not welding.

Adjust Trim/Voltage/Power/STT Background Current while welding.

"WFS/Procedure A-B" = The left and right joystick positions will be used to
select procedure A and B, while welding and while not welding. The left
joystick position selects procedure A, the right joystick position selects
procedure B.
Note: In all configurations other than "Disable Joystick", the up and down
joystick positions will adjust the wire feed speed, while welding and while not
welding.
Determines how workpoint is displayed:

"No" (factory default) = The workpoint is displayed in the format defined in
the weld set.

"Yes" = All workpoint values are displayed as an amperage.
Note: This option may not be available on all machines. The power source
must support this functionality, or this option will not appear in the menu
