Mesa Thcad-10 as the THC?

fixed a few settings now THC comes on and was actively moving the torch up, A bit much mind you but ill just adjust the "Height per volt" I assume until i am happy. super excited that it comes on though

Height Per Volt is not used for THC, it is used for on the fly manual height adjustment.

Maybe decrease Pid P Gain.

I actually never knew this... Would it be possible to amend the user guide and the Plasmac Tool Tip to add "when adjusting the height manually using the Height Override"? Or, alternatively it may be better to change the config label from "Height Per Volt" To "Manual Height Override Per Volt".

I always assumed it was the correction amount the THC was using...

It is mentioned here:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/plasma/plasma....html#_control_panel

But I suppose it should be mentioned here as well:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/plasma/plasma...de.html#config-panel

The idea of tool tips (to me at) is that they are "tips" and jog the users memory to what they read in the User Guide.
