And now this is the plot I got,
Still yet to connect the Hypertherm to the TX board

So measuring the the two pins I should see ......?? so in the hypertherm manual I see the procedure for installing voltage divider board, but don't see how it can be checked/tested.

Joey thanks for the quick reply man, So I've used 3mm 45A profiles for ALU . That didn't work gave me the line 118 error ..

You will want to wire the ARC OK signal from the Hypertherm to an input also to ensure a reliable pierce delay. Joey So this is whats ...

So Guys here's the situation at the moment, besides the owner being really p***ed off .. Can anyone tell me by looking at the latest report and/or the THC bench-test result if TX board is gone ? If not, why the 10v result? If yes, can I run the plasma with the Hypertherm 125 without the THC TX board...
