Default Santa could have put examples in the manual

Well Santa was good this year, bringing me the new Hitech 4X charger.
Unfortunately, the manual is short on providing specifics about how to charge Nimh batteries.I’m a little confused as to how to setup the charging current for both manual and automatic mode.
Is the current I specify the current of the battery or the max current to charge the battery?
I see no ware in the manual or the programming selection where I specify the voltage of the batteries I charging.
How are you guys programming these?

In manual the setpoint is the current , in auto the setpoint is the max current. (current you want to charge the pack at)

Ok - Thanks,

Where would one find what the optimal charge current should be set to in Auto mode?

Is it a function of the battary pack current?

There's no seting except for the "max" since the charger is doing it "automatically"
