GLOSSARY
The
following
is
a
list
of
terms
and
their
definitions
as
they
apply
to
this
wire
feeder:
General
Terms
Adaptive
Pulse
Background
Current
Inductance
Peak
Current
Pulses
Per
Second
(PPS
Or
Pulse
Frequency)
Pulse
Width
(Or
Peak
Time)
Trim
Synergic
When
the
adaptive
pulse
welding
process
is
selected,
the
unit
will
automatically
ad
just
pulse
frequency
in
order
to
maintain
a
constant
arc
length,
regardless
of
change
in
welding
wire
stickout.
Typically
the
lower
of
the
two
current
levels
in
the
pulsing
waveform.
Is
the
electrical
influence
exerted
by
current
flow
in
a
conductor,
through
a
magnetic
field,
on
adjacent
conductors.
Typically
the
higher
of
the
two
current
levels
in
the
pulsing
waveform.
Number
of
peak
current
pulses
which
occur
in
one
second
of
time.
Duration
of
the
peak
current
level.
Term
used
to
represent
arc
length
in
pulse
programs.
Trim
is
replaced
by
volts
in
MIG
programs.
Synergic
refers
to
the
units
ability
to
use
preprogrammed
pulse
parameters
in
order
to
determine
the
actual
pulse
settings
of
Peak
Amperage,
Background
Amperage,
Pulse
Frequency
and
Pulse
Width
at
any
specific
wire
feed
speed
setting.

operator
having
to
hold
the
gun
trigger.
Allows
the
wire
to
feed
without
energizing
the
welding
power
source

condi
tions
(i.e.
hotter
and
colder)
are
required
on
one
wire.
Is
used
to
select
the
type
of

to
be
used,
including
