Run-In sets the wire feed speed from the time the trigger is pulled until an arc is
established or 2.5 seconds.
Use run-in for softer arc starts.
The Start Procedure controls the WFS and Volts for a specified time at the begin-
ning of the weld. During the start time, the machine will ramp up or
down from the Start Procedure to the preset Welding Procedure.

Description
----
Sets the length of time for welding when the trigger is pulled. If the trigger is
released before the Spot Timer is complete, welding stops.
This option has no effect in 4-Step Trigger Mode.
Crater Procedure controls the WFS and volts for a specified time at the end of
the weld after the trigger is released. During the Crater time, the machine will
ramp up or down from the Weld Procedure to the Crater Procedure.
Crater is not commonly used with STT processes.
The burnback time is the amount of time that the weld output continues after the
wire stops feeding. It prevents the wire from sticking in the puddle and prepares
the end of the wire for the next arc start.
Adjusts the time that shielding gas flows after the welding output turns off.
Adjusts the time that shielding gas flows after the welding output turns off.
