Welding GMAW and FCAW-GS Process in synergic mode CV
In synergic mode, the welding voltage is not set by user.
The correct welding voltage will set by the machine's software.
This value was recalled on the basis of data (input data) had been loaded:

Wire Feed Speed, WFS [32]

Note: Before using the synergic program, the program had to be assigned to the user memory.
Note: The list of available programs depends on the power source.
If it is needed, the welding voltage can be adjusted by
the Right Control [24]. When the Right Control is rotated,
the display will show an upper or lower bar indicates if
the voltage is above or below the ideal voltage.

Pinch controls the arc characteristics when short-arc
welding. increasing Pinch Control greater than 0.0
results in a crisper arc (more spatter) while decreasing
the Pinch Control to less than 0.0 provides a softer arc
(less spatter).

Adjust range: from -10 to +10.

Factory default, Pinch is OFF.
