Welding data collection
X8 MIG Welder can be used for automated monitoring of quality and productivity of arc welding. The device records
welding parameter data and transmits it to the WeldEye cloud service through a wired or wireless network.
Control Pad is the welder's user interface for connecting to WeldEye and entering identifying information, such as the
welder's ID, the WPS in use, the weld or welding piece and the filler material batch number.

Welding data collection: enabling
This functionality is available only if your company has acquired WeldEye for Welding Quality Management or WeldEye
for Welding Production Analysis. You must connect X8 MIG Welder to Internet and to the WeldEye cloud service to use
the functionality on this device. For more information, see WeldEye operating manual.
When welding data collection is enabled, press the green button on Control Pad's right control knob to access the Task
view.
Welding data collection: recording data
X8 MIG Welder collects welding parameter data automatically. It records every weld and stores the data. It collects the
values for parameters such as current, voltage, and wire feed speed for each individual welding run.
The device stores the welding parameter values in the power source memory. At the end of each welding run, it sends
the data to the WeldEye cloud service for analysis and reporting. It usually takes a few seconds until the welding data
shows up in WeldEye after the welding run ends. WeldEye never shows values for ongoing welding, because the data is
transmitted only after the welding ends.
