Open circuit voltage: Sets the power source output voltage for the torch idle condition (the
welding machine is on, but not welding).
Strike peak amps: Adjust this parameter to set the peak level for the arc-strike current spike.
Strike peak time: Adjust this parameter to set the duration of peak current for the arc-strike
current spike.
Starting volts: Adjust this parameter to set the gun voltage to be maintained during the arc
starting routine.
Starting time: Adjust this parameter to set the duration of the arc starting routine.
