When the trigger is pulled, the pre-gas starts. When the wire touches the workpiece, a pulse initiates the arc. The machine then initiates the HotStart,
Upslope, and then the welding cycle. When the trigger is released, the Downslope commences until it reaches the ICrater-fill. Then the stop spike
severs the wire, and the Post gas follows. Just as in Standard mode, the user can quickly restart the welding process during the post-gas phase
without going through the HotStart phase.
Pulse 4T process:
T hotstart
Dstart
4T
Soft-start
In pulse 4T mode, the timing of the pre-gas and post-gas is managed automatically. HotStart and crater-fill are both controlled by the trigger.
