The third step is the saving of the User Synergy. The power source allows the creation of up to 50 User Synergies. Make sure all of the fields 

are filled in order to easily find the references and using conditions of the User Synergy created. Press Ok to validate the field or Escape to go 
back and modify the former field. 
 

The created User Synergies are accessible in the Synergy bar of the menu MIG. You can export created synergies from the menu User Synergy by 
pressing the export button.  
From the User Synergy menu, you can suppress created synergies by pressing the button of synergy suppression. 

 
 

4.2. MIG WELDING CYCLE ADVANCED SETTING  

PRESENTATION OF PROGRAMS 

The program management is the same for the 3 welding processes MIG, MMA and TIG.

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Working programs : MIG, MMA & TIG

 

By default, the welding tuning pages of the processes MIG, MMA & TIG use the working programs: 

MIG

MMA

 & 

TIG

This program provides a working base allowing immediate welding once the quick settings are done. 
This program cannot be saved and all the modifications done on it will be lost after a restart of the power source. It cannot be part of a programs list nor 
exported. 
For thorough use, you need to create numbered programs. The 

DIGIWAVE III

 can contain up to 

100

 Programs.

 

 

Current program status 

Program management menu 

The new synergic curve (in red) is different from the 
former one thanks to the chosen settings.
