Adjusting welding parameters
1. Turn the right control knob to highlight the desired welding parameter.
2. Press the right control knob to select the welding parameter for adjustment.
3. Turn the right control knob to adjust welding parameter value.
>> Depending on the parameter to be adjusted, refer also to the Welding parameters table below for more
details.
4. Confirm the new value / selection and close the adjustment view by pressing the right control knob.
Saving welding parameters for later use
A work channel is automatically created for the changed welding parameters. To save the set welding parameters on
a memory channel, do one of the following:
• Quick active channel option: Keep the Channels shortcut button pressed for approximately 2 seconds.
>> This will save the parameter settings onto the currently active channel replacing its previous parameter set-
tings.
• Channels view option: Go to the Channels view and save the parameter settings onto a new channel.
>> Refer to "Auto control panel: Memory channels" on page 70 for more information.

Description
Welding guns can have several alternative
trigger operation modes (trigger logics).
Most common are 2T and 4T. In 2T mode
you hold the trigger down while welding.
In 4T mode you press and release the trig-
ger to start or to stop welding.
Touch Sense Ignition delivers minimum
spatter and stabilizes the arc immediately
after ignition.
Start arc settings affect the arc length and
duration at the ignition start.
Post current setting affects the wire length
at the weld end, for example to prevent
the wire from stopping too close to the
weld pool. This also enables the optimum
wire length for the start of the next weld.
Controls the short circuit behavior of the
arc. The lower the value the softer the arc,
the higher the value the rougher the arc.
Wire feed end step feature prevents the
filler wire from sticking to the work piece
when the welding ends. This is accom-
plished by pulling the wire back briefly.
