Title: plasma torch volts control
Post by: stirling on October 17, 2010, 02:09:48 PM

under ports n pins/spindle setup down at the bottom right there's a checkbox for "torch volts control"

looks intriguing - anyone know how it's used?

Some torches have analog +/- inputs to allow auto voltage setup from the machine.

I would assume it interfaces a step or PWM convertor board like is used for spindle control to be used to adjust the torch voltage on the fly.

NOW that is just a guess, have you clicked the button and seen what happens ???? (;-)
