Summary: setting up the plasma routine
1. Select the Plasma 1 and Plasma 2 processes in the Special Setups screen.
2. Select a marking process if the plasma torch will be used as a marker.
3. Assign the inputs and outputs for the plasma supply on the I/O setup screen.
 The I/O assignments for the plasma supply depend on the number of torches and whether the CNC will be
operating all the torches independently.
 For the CNC to operate each torch independently, numbered outputs and station select inputs must be assigned
in the I/O setup screen. Refer to
Section 4 Station Setup for numbered I/O and Station Select inputs.
4. Define timer settings and other cutting parameters in the Process screen.
