Hypertherm PowerMax 125

Hi
Retrofitting a 1.5x3m Plasma cutter with the Acorn system and was wondering where I would be able obtain setting for the Profile Manager.

Also are the figures in the profile manager just a conservative starting point, and one needs to tweak those figures for their machine ??
Thanks

Job Timer

Hi
So just curious as to why there is no "Time Remaining" displayed for jobs or even "Elapsed Time"
