3.3 WAVE DESIGN PROCESS

The wave design process is a series of operations that allows you to quickly modify a standard waveform to fit your specific welding application. The following process flowchart applies to a pulse waveform, but is similar to the process used to modify STT and other waveforms. Examples of each process step can be found in the listed reference paragraphs.
