   * Process current (amps) which specifies the current for the machine
   * Kerf compensation method. Kerf compensation can either be done using a standard mill technique for tool radius compensation, or through a dedicated kerf compensation method made specifically for plasma cutting machines. The dedicated plasma method is on by default, and is labelled as Method 1, while the traditional mill machine method is labelled as Method 2. Below is the comparison of the two compensation methods:

+  * Note how the two methods are different: Method 1 (plasma kerf compensation) will first move out and then begin the cut, then complete the cut while still using kerf compensation, and will then move back to the original starting point. In contrast, the mill Method 2 will begin and end the cut at the same point, gradually moving outwards to reach the tool width compensation value.
   * Auto Gas Console settings. myCNC software allows for gas control using the software PLC commands rather than through the machine. This setting is tailored to the specific customer.
