What is meant by "ContacTIG" on Lorch MMA inverters? Is it "scratch start" or "lift start", or is it something different?

Its just our name for non HF tig ignition. On the Handy 150/160/200 it is like Scratch start, where a valve torch is required, on the Handy 180 it is a lift start, that doesn't damage the Tungsten and allows pre/post gas, start/end currents and up/down slopes to be selected. Also has gas management.

Thanks for the info, Matt. My budget would stretch to the H150, but I imagine the H180, with all those added features, is going to be out of reach.
