3.2.3 EDITING AND SELECTING WORKPOINTS

For each custom welding application, unique wave shapes are developed for specific workpoints within the range of workpoints defined for the application. In Wave Designer the range of workpoints and the specific workpoint values are defined in a Workpoint Editor window. After the workpoints are defined, we use a workpoint pulldown menu to select a specific workpoint for wave shaping. The following describes how workpoints are defined (edited) and selected for a Pulse (GMAW) mode welding application.
