Weldview - Lincoln Electric POWER WAVE MANAGER IM8002 Operator's Manual

WeldView

WeldView
WeldView is a feature of Power Wave® Manager that allows you to capture a high-speed trace of a weld
performed by your Welding Power Source. The trace is a series of data points that the machine stores
while welding. Each record consists of several variables, including amperage and voltage at the time that
the record was written. You can use the weld trace to troubleshoot or fine tune welding performance by
examining the waveform of the weld during starting and ending.
NOTE |
TIP

Lincoln Electric service personnel may request a weld trace

save a trace file that you can send to Lincoln Electric
Support for evaluation.
| If the Acquire new weld trace and Read trace from power
source buttons are disabled, the feature may not be
supported by the connected Welding Power Source.
