Just looking to see if any ally experts out there have a good place to start for a pulse setting for thin aluminum sheet.
I'm welding N outside corner on .032" 6061 aluminum, have no access to the back of the joint and limited to the top to use heat sinks.

I'd say heat control with a pedal is more valuable than pulse control. You didn't indicate rod size, amps, or cup size-

Use triangular waveform if available
