Hypertherm PowerMax 125

Hi
Retrofitting a 1.5x3m Plasma cutter with the Acorn system and was wondering where I would be able obtain setting for the Profile Manager.

Also are the figures in the profile manager just a conservative starting point, and one needs to tweak those figures for their machine ??
Thanks
