Cable Settings and Tests
The Cable settings and tests section allows you to configure and test your welding cables and sense leads
for the Welding Power Source to which you are connected.
Sense Lead Settings Tab
Use these settings to enable or disable automatic hardware sense lead selection or to modify the behavior
through manual settings. For most applications, the Automatic hardware sense lead selection is the best

NOTE | The Sense lead settings tab is only available for those
Welding Power Sources that do not have DIP switches for
modifying the sense lead location. The settings are also not
available for Welding Power Sources that do not support
changing the sense lead selection.
