System Status; Tool Bar - Lincoln Electric POWER WAVE MANAGER IM8002 Operator's Manual

System Status

When Power Wave® Manager first establishes a connection to the Welding Power Source, it switches to the
System status section and provides you with in-depth information about the Welding Power Source. With
the System status section, you can review each component of the Welding Power Source, review a module
if there is a problem and create a SnapShot file for troubleshooting.

Tool Bar

At the top of the System status section (Figure 5.1), there is an action bar that allows you to change your
display, clear the history and save a SnapShot of the current activity on the power source.
Refresh button: This button allows you to rescan the Welding Power Source for problems. The

most recent results are displayed on the System status tab.
Display drop-down: The Display drop down allows you to switch between Diagnostics (page 5.2)

and Detailed Status (page 5.3).
Clear logs button: This button deletes the Event and Fatal Event log histories in all modules of

the Welding Power Source. The system records the date and time the logs were cleared and
displays this information under the appropriate component.

TIP |
SnapShot button: This button allows you to save a file that contains detailed configuration and

debugging information collected from each module in the Welding Power Source. This can help
Lincoln Electric Support to troubleshoot any possible issues that cannot be easily resolved. See
page 9.2 for more details.

When you click the Clear logs button, the Welding Power
Source resets and stops welding. Be sure the power source
is not currently welding.
When you click the Clear logs button, Power Wave®
Manager uses the date and time of the local host computer,
rather than the date and time on the selected Welding
Power Source.
