TIG pulsing - welding current curve
*) (1/F-P = time interval between two pulses)
Tacking function The power source has a tacking function.
When a time period is specified for the tAC (tacking) setup parameter, the tacking function
is assigned to the 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 togeth-
er better when two parts are being tacked.
How the tacking function works:
