Tacking function The tacking function is available for the TIG DC welding process.
When a time period is specified for the tAC (tacking) setup parameter, the tacking func-
tion is assigned to 2-step mode and 4-step mode. The operating sequence of the modes
remains unchanged.
During this period, a pulsed welding current is present that makes the weld pool run
together better when two parts are being tacked.
