Diagnostics Tab
The Diagnostics tab provides you with a way to view a list of welds that the power source currently has in
its memory since the last time it powered on (the Number of welds in memory field), as well as a way to
reset the machine if there is an Alarm Latch detected from an out-of-limits condition (click the Reset fault
button). At the top of the tab, Power Wave® Manager displays the current status of the monitoring
software on the power source.
Figure 10.3 Diagnostics Tab
You can view the list of welds in a few different formats, depending on your Welding Power Source. From
the Read weld history drop-down menu, simply select the highest number format that works with your
Welding Power Source:
 Format 1 displays basic information about each weld.
 Format 2 includes more detailed information about each weld.
 Format 3 includes the most information about each weld, including WeldScore™ and part serial
numbers.
Configuration
The Configuration section allows you to set up the Weld Profiles needed on this Welding Power Source,
set up e-mail notifications from the power source, manage the consumables used by the power source
and more.
NOTE | When you finish changing configuration options on one
or more tabs, be sure to click the Apply settings button
to commit your changes. Otherwise, you will lose your
new settings.
Weld Profiles
One of the principal goals of Production Monitoring™ or CheckPoint™ is to report on welds that are outside
of user-defined limits with respect to WeldScore™, current, voltage, wire feed speed and duration. This
goal would be simple to implement if the Welding Power Source were to perform only one type of weld
over and over. However, in practical applications, this is not the case. The assembly of many different
industrial components requires welds of varying type and length.
