Scroll down to "Configuration -THC"
Probably not exactly what you're looking for. I can get my parameters from my machine (65XP), but I think they are the default settings. A lot of the tuning parameters depend on the speed of the Z axis, etc.
But as another place to start, I would verify that the voltage readings are not noisy/don't have interference issues, etc. When I was doing mine, I opened up the halscope and continually plotted the output from the THCAD. I was able to see that having the ground connected to the shield was causing all sorts of noise, which calmed down then I removed the shield connection. I also then hooked up a DC power supply to it and verified that it showed the correct voltage value. I cant remember I either used a 9v or a 24v power supply I had laying around etc. Lastly, I did some looking at the voltage under a long torch pulse, etc. Erroneous noise in this system can cause you a lot of grief. The GUI updates arent fast enough to really show everything, so it's best to use halscope to plot the voltage under the aforementioned conditions, as well as cut conditions on thicker material (with the THC disabled), etc.
Hopefully that helps give you some places to look before you start turning the knobs
