YupI think he wants to know how the voltage settings relate to actual voltage and how the wire feed settings relate to actual wire feed speed.

I have read they are not accurateI can't help with that.
I presume this is to follow settings from a manual or such not.
There are user charts specific to the material and wire thickness etc provided. I would use those.
All charts and tables are really just a start point , even synergic is only a rough guide ,,, just pull the trigger and turn the knobs until you get what you like , no two welders weld the same , and thats as true as it is for the machine or the person welding. You will soon get to know your own machine and your favorite settings.
I think they vary between being close to distant but you'd have the same trouble if your welding machine was calibrated in real volts and real wire feed speed. A part of that is because no two machines are identical and another part is that no two welders (operators) are identical. More stick out, longer arc etc, and things change.I have read they are not accurate
Wire speed is also easy to do. Get a stop watch, press the trigger on the torch and start button on stop watch and hold down for 6 seconds. Measure the amount of wire that’s come out of the torch and multiply by 10 to get inches per min.
I think the point was to determine voltages in volts and wire feed speed in meters/min (or whatever unit). That table just contains arbitrary numbers.Check out the R Tech site and download the settings here

Do you have the listThe printed setting charts in the manual are not accurate. I worked out my own settings.
First thing I did was this.
Then I found a chart online that gave the wire speed for 0.8 wire on different metal thicknesses.
Then I got sections of metal from 1mm to 6mm, set the correct wire speed & did some test welds at different voltages until I got a nice weld. That produced a table giving me wire speed & volts for metals from 1mm to 6mm. Anything over 6mm you set both at 10. The only time both dials matched was at No 7 & I think that was either 4 or 5mm steel.
The table will only give a ballpark figure & you will have to tweak the setting by maybe 1/2 either way, depending on type of weld.
