Ok, so nice full day of running the machine.

Started out working on my cart only to have my MIG short out (sheath slipped down a bit) arc'd the liner to ground and melted the gas line.

DC+ on the 200DX with 6011 smoothed out a bit after I got used to it, unfortunately, I was running the wrong size for what I was doing, so it's ugly as sin, but worked it out and was able to finish the project. Too much leftover paint to TIG, so I burned through the crap and just finished it up.

TIG, the knob must have gotten bumped, preflow was set to max, which is around 10 it seems, so counting past 5 wouldn't have it start, though it would strike and run at that point. I brought pre-flow down as suggested but it was too big a blast. Somewhere around 2 worked great.

Had to mess with the sensitivity on my new helmet a bit, I'm happy with it though, Hobart variable shade w/grind mode. Max sensitivity had it going dark with sunlight. Oddly, I liked this, I was able to use my hand to block it momentarily to see, then move my hand and weld. Once I got it dialed in, it became my favorite helmet. Easy adjustment knob on the outside.

Now, I noticed that when I let off the pedal or switch, EVERY TIME, the display would momentarily say 011.

Next weekend should have some more hood time, I want to try out the pulse function.
