2. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select YES or NO, to enable or disable joule mode.
3. Press ENTER to accept and exit.
SETTING THE JOULE SET POINT
To program the number of joules you want to be delivered (joule set point):
1. Press PROCESS → CONTROL → JOULES → SETPT.
2. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select a value between 0 and 9,999,999 joules (in 1
joule increments).

If you are rotating the MODIFY knob slowly, press the appropriate soft key to
indicate how quickly you want the display to increment the value (x1000, x100,
x10 or x1).
Note: If you turn the MODIFY knob quickly, the counts per click setting takes
effect.
3. Press ENTER to accept and exit.
SETTING THE JOULE THRESHOLD
PROCESS → CONTROL → JOULES→ THRESHOLD
This option allows you to set a level of output that must be met or exceeded before
Joule calculation begins. You can use this feature to improve the accuracy for
processes that have long ignition times.
To set the joule threshold type:
1. Press PROCESS → CONTROL → JOULES → THRESHOLD → TYPE
2. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select POWER, CURRENT, or VOLTAGE.
3. Press ENTER to accept and exit.
Note: If you select power or current, the joule counter counts when power or
current (which ever you selected) is above the threshold and stops when
this value drops below the threshold. If you select voltage, the joule
counter counts while voltage is below the threshold and stops when
voltage exceeds this limit. The Joule energy calculation begins after (n)
mS, regardless of the output level. The time value, (n) mS, is set in the
configuration and cannot be changed. If the output level meets the joule
energy threshold prior to the time expiration, the joule energy calculation
will begin.
To set the joule threshold level:
1. Press PROCESS → CONTROL → JOULES → THRESHOLD → LEVEL
