CONFIG_ANALOG_WELDING_SETTING

This structure defines analog welding operation settings, including target voltage, current, velocity, and time-related parameters for both the start and end phases of the welding process. It allows precise configuration of welding behavior such as gas release, arc rise/fall times, and voltage transitions.

Note

• _iVirtualWelding allows testing and parameter verification without actual arc ignition.

• _tDetail provides fine-grained control over the welding sequence timing.

• Adjusting _fRs, _fRf, and _fTwc helps manage smooth transitions during weld start and stop.

• Typical applications include MIG/MAG welding systems and robotic process optimization.
