Display the Scope Trace screen for the currently displayed waveform.

Flash Custom Waveform Ctrl+F Transmit selected waveforms to the welding machine. This option requires that the equipment interconnections are made and that the welding machine is on-line (communicating).

Browse Mode Directory Ctrl+B Display the Weld Mode Directory screen. The Weld Mode Directory lists the waveforms that are presently downloaded into the welding machine controller memory. You can download up to ten custom waveforms to the weld mode directory, memory slots (Modes) 155 through 164.
