Maxtron 450 - What is this for?

[Wycrumb]

I recently bought a 1995 model Maxtron 450. I have spent a fair amount of time reading through the manual and I have not been able to find out what the mystery switch and dial are for on the front of my machine. Any help would be Pictures below...

Training...

I was hoping it was pulse...

Now how to use it? Does anyone know if there is more information on how to use it? How to connect a volt sense lead, if it will work with my feeder, etc?

My understanding is .... it is for the Synergic Pulse function that works in combination with a "compatible wire feeder". You set the Pulse switch on, select program for material and wire being used, then when wire speed adjustments are made in the feeder, the "synergic" control automatically changes power supply settings. Special pulse mix gasses also need to be used 95Ar/5(O2 or CO2) Synergic connection is through the 14-pin connector
