It translates to "and an onion one as well"

I just noticed! I've seen Trainspotting, I know what your lot do to Yank touristsAre you a yank? Just asking as you have spelt it the way they say it
full translation might go something like, "I say old boy, could one have a plain pie, and an onion one to go with it please"
mind you if you went into a Dundee peh shop with that line, there's a fair chance you might get laughed off the premises...

It is, I don't think they do a tough case for the new style Pico yet.

When i moved to live in Edinburgh a good few years i had to go to a job and meet the contractors in the "Boothy" (not sure of the spelling)
Like a lad i said yeah yeah see you at the agreed time.
Then the panic set in as i didn't know what a Boothy is
I do now !!

What/how do you set the pulse in settings ?.
It is % duty cycle and frequency like my paton machine or more synergetic

Yeah, I can see how the pronunciation would've thrown you. Bothies themselves aren't anything particularly Scottish:

I now understand it to be where the folk meet up for a brew in the workplace?
it wasnt just the pronunciation, I simply had no idea what it was

I am obsessed.

Not looked into in depth yet but you can set the frequency between 0.2 and 500hz
There is also a balance which I presume is time between high and low
There is also a pulse current, not messed with that at all yet but it seems to be that you can set a higher than 100% for that.
Will have to study the manual when I get a chance but so far I have just had a wee mess around with the frequency.
Some varying frequencies in the below welds although it is hard to see as I was laying one bead over the other after altering things.

That's nice. By what you state there it looks like the EWM has more possibilties on pulse then the Fronius Transpocket.
On my Fronius I can set the frequency between 0.2 and 990Hz and the pulse current (which is the set current on the display). The lower base current and duty cycle (I think what you call balance - duration of pulse) is then determent by the electronics based on the dialed in pulse current and frequency.
I really like the pulse function on the Fronius for thin stuff. I've just been playing with it since last saturday and had some great results on 1mm steel sheet. And yesterday i had to weld some thin walled (1.6mm) stainless (316) tube which is a bitch to weld with stick without blowing holes.
I used to try to weld this stuff with 2mm electrodes at about 30-35A and even then it was very hard to not blow holes.
Now with the Fronius Transpocket i can weld it no problem with 2.5mm electrodes with the pulse current set at 70A and the frequency at 2Hz.
