Hi Harry,
The sequence is
Turn welder off
Press arrow next to T2/T2 turn machines on with the pressed
Turn knob under the screen that says P1 on it
Turn to P3 is on the screen
Adjust the dial on the other screen to increase or decrease burn back
Mine was factory set to 3, on 0 is is perfect.

Yes but it isn't, not sure why, I did post the sequence in a reply to Harry72. Even though it is in the manual I can't fault the Unimig support staff they are excellent.

Next minute, a MWF user drops the revelation about the secret menu to turn a unimig 205 into 1.21 Jiggawatt unit.
People seem surprised, but the days of a welder being a transformer and a few taps for different voltage steps are over. The basic 'synergic' machines have a heap of built in smarts which, 9 times out of ten, prevent the operator from even having to think about burn back. If that's not surprising, then consider the high end units which can now be networked together so that management can interrogate you arc-on time, wire used, gas flow rates, etc... and feed it all back into their quality control systems, or the firing decisions if the operator's defects are too high, or productivity too low.
Big brother, huh?

Programmable chips in mig welders go back a ways.
In 1986 I was part of a team of pressure pipe welders who trialed a WIA Synergic Gmaw welder for our company. It was the same model said to be developed to weld up Alan Bond racing yacht that won the Americas cup. This was when WIA still made welders in Oz.
Our intended application was for specialised nickel welding on High pressure nickel lined pipe. Every circumferential butt weld was subject to radiographic examination.
They programmed chips were a flop at the time as WIA wqs not able set up a chip to cater for the nickel to our standards.
The damn chips are everywhere now. I saw led flouro batten that a local sparky had.No ballast unit just a chip,some wire connectors and a tube.
