		+	===Extinguish Type:===
		+	*This is where the user will select the type of lead-out extinguish type that will be set to the selected cut(s). '''Perpendicular''' is our preferred method. This means that the torch will extinguish its cut at a perpendicular angle after the cut of the profile has been performed. This is a extinguish type that leaves the cut profile smoothly at a 90 degree angle.
		+
		+	===Angle/Sweep:===
		+	*Opposite of the ignite type section, this will be the angle at which the cut eases out of the selected cut(s). This will be greyed out when the perpendicular extinguish type is set.
		+
		+	===Dwell Time(sec):===
		+	*This indicates how long the torch will remain on one place during the extinguishing stage of the torch. This can be set to '''0'''.
		+
		+	===Radius:===
		+	*This is where the user will enter the radius of the arc that channels out of the selected cut profile. This will be greyed out when the perpendicular extinguish type is set as a default.
		+
		+	===Length/Distance:===

 *This is where the user will select the type of lead-in ignite type that will be set to the selected cut(s). '''Arc with Angle''' is our preferred method. This means that the torch will initiate its cut into the material at an angle which will ease into an arc and then to the intended cut profile. This is a smooth ignite type and leaves little chance for error.
