Default What exactly is 'DIG' setting for stick welding

I always thought the 'arc force' control squared off the edges of the
sine wave to give a better 'punch through' voltage. Suppose I'll have to
put a 'scope on the output of the stick welder and have a look!

As for what it does for you, increasing the 'arc force' sure helps on
rusty or dirty material. Increases the spatter tho.
