    * **Max Amps**
      * 10 - 200 Amps
-     Max Amps describes the maximum current that can be achieved through the full motion of the foot pedal. Full forward travel of the pedal would denote the maximum value.

    * **Start Amps**
      * 10 - 200 Amps
-     Start amps is the current that will flow at the initiation of the arc, whether in conjunction with the HV/HF starter or not. A high value will help here, but will also cause significantly more heat to be introduced to the material being welded. The lowest value possible is always best. This will vary with differing scenarios.

    * **Up Slope**
      * Amps/Second
-     Up Slope determines how quickly the current will be raised from zero to Start Amps after the foot switch is closed. Setting this to '0' will disable this function.

-     Down Slope determines how quickly the current will be reduced from Start Amps to zero after the foot switch is opened. Setting this to '0' will disable this function.

    * **End Amps**
      * 10 - 200 Amps
-     End Amps determines what current level should be maintained during the end of the weld. The welder can choose to snap out the electrode to end the weld once finished, or simply set this value to '0 to disable the function.

+   * //Current is measured through a current sensor in series with the welding electrodes. This enables us to measure and 'watch' how the current is behaving through the load, in both AC and DC operation. Hopefully it is fast enough to capture the PWM being applied.//
