height, and cutting (marking) height any time a new condition is loaded, the process
(cutting or marking) is changed, or when the arc voltage, pierce (initial) height, or cutting
(marking) height is changed on the Parameters Screen.
With the Inova Parameter Transmit feature set to manual, the voltage screen is being
displayed will automatically transmit the pierce (initial) height, cutting (marking) height,
and arc voltage set points to the Inova.
Cut/Mark Control
The Spirit system has the capability of plasma cutting and plasma marking with
the same set of consumables. The process (cutting or marking) can be set by
the RS-422 serial interface (COMM), by a hard signal (Hard Wire) on the CNC
interface plug, or locally (Local) through the plasma console.

be selected as the plasma gas for certain material types and thicknesses. To
prevent the use of H17, hydrogen cutting must be disabled.
