Current

Current in this context refers to the weld current during welding with constant

current.

Pulse Current and Background Current

For pulse current several parameters must be set which are in correlation with the

weld current. Pulse current and background current indicate which current values the

pulses will lie between, see the following figure.

Pulse Time and Background Time

Pulse time specifies the time for current pulses.

Background time specifies the time for background current.

For welding with pulsed current. see the figure above. The settings range for both

pulse time and background time is 0.001-- 5.000 s.

Gas Pre--flow and Gas Post--flow

The parameters for gas pre--flow and gas post--flow determine how long gas will flow

before and after welding.

Slope--up and Slope--down

The slope parameters govern the gradual rise and fall of the welding current over a

given time.
