Component Identification and Explanation
"Advanced AC Pulse" is selected, this becomes the DC Electrode
Negative parameter of the pulse. Value is in percent of welding Amps
or Electrode Negative (if Independent Amplitude is selected).
13. Down-Slope Timer. Value is in Seconds.
14. End Amps. Value is in Amps.
15. Post Flow Timer. Value is in Seconds.
AC TIG Spot Weld Graph Line:
The AC Spot Weld graph line removes many parameters from the graph
line since it they are irrelevant to making a rapid small weld. Slopes and
Start/End Amperages are not used since the arc is either On or Off. The
Spot Weld timer parameter is added to the graph line and the Stitch timer
parameter, which allows the Spot Weld function to cycle on and off in a
repeating fashion, is added to the graph line as well.
See the AC Spot Weld graph line information and notations below:
(In logical weld cycle order, from left to right priority, then up and down.)

2.
Welding Amps/ Electrode Positive. This is the home location the
welder defaults after 5 seconds of inactivity or while welding, unless
"Independent Amplitude" is selected. When "Independent Amplitude"
is selected and turned on, this becomes the Electrode Positive (EP+ )
percentage setting and the home location is defaults to the Electrode
Negative (EN-)setting.
3.
Electrode Negative. This parameter only appears when "Independent
Amplitude" is selected and turned on, this becomes the Electrode
Negative location. Once "Independent Amplitude" is selected, this
becomes the home location of the welder settings since it allows
direct adjustment of Amps. When Independent Amplitude is deselect-
ed, this circle disappears.
4.
Electrode Negative Wave Form. This has no assigned value. It only
has wave form shapes representing Adv. Square (square), Soft
Square (rounded square), Sine (rounded, upside down U), Trapezoid
(blunt triangle).
5.
Electrode Positive Wave Form. This has no assigned value. It only
has wave form shapes representing Adv. Square (square), Soft
Square (rounded square), Sine (rounded, upside down U), Trapezoid
(blunt triangle).

AC Frequency. Value is in Hertz (Hz).
7.
AC Balance. Value is in Percent of Electrode Positive. (% of EP+)
8.
Spot Timer. This parameter is added to serve as the "Arc-On" Timer.
Value is in seconds.

Value is in seconds.
10. Post Flow Timer. Value is in Seconds.
DC TIG Graph Line:
The DC TIG example of the graph line is slightly different than the AC. In
pulse mode the welder has wave form adjustment. The AC does not since
it is an actual wave shape. The DC graph line is more simple when com-
pared to the AC TIG graph line. It does not have the AC features, but in
nearly every other way, the graph line is very similar in appearance. The
graph line of the DC Weld cycle appears here in the most expanded form
from left to right, in order of operation, starting with Pre-flow and ending
with Post Flow, with Pulse Activated. The Spot Weld function is not includ-
ed in this view of the DC TIG graph line. It drastically changes the DC TIG
graph line. The DC TIG Spot Weld graph line is covered separately.

4.
Welding Amps. This is the home location the welder defaults after 5
seconds of inactivity or while welding, This parameter location also
serves as the high Amperage portion (also known as the Peak Amper-
age) of the Pulse cycle when the "Pulse" Function is turned "On."
5.
Wave Form Selection. The DC pulse wave shape is adjustable. It has
4 wave shape patterns to choose from: Advanced Square, Trapezoid,
Triangle and Sine.
6.
Pulse Time On. This appears only when Pulse is selected. Value is in
percent of Welding Amps (or EN-) versus Pulse Amps.
7.
Pulse Frequency. This appears only when Pulse is selected. Value is
in Hertz (Hz).
