Down Slope
This parameter operates in TIG
modes only and is used to set
the time for the weld current
to ramp down, after the torch
trigger switch has been pressed,
to crater current. This control is
used to eliminate the crater that
can form at the completion of a
weld.

Crater Current
This parameter operates in (4T)
TIG modes only and is used to
set the finish current for TIG.
The CRATER Current remains
ON until the torch trigger switch
is released after it has been
depressed.
Note: The maximum crater
current available will be limited to
the set value of the weld current.

Post Flow
This parameter operates in TIG
modes only and is used to adjust
the post gas flow time once
the arc has extinguished. This
control is used to dramatically
reduce oxidation of the tungsten
electrode.
