Section 8 - Welder Data Export Software

File Write

Sets the write behavior for an existing file. Write Over overwrites an existing file, while Add On appends data to the end of the file.

Incoming Data

This indicator will flash when data is being received from the welder.

EXIT

Exits program.

Profile Graphs

The PROFILE GRAPHS tab, shown in Figure 8-2, contains numerical and graphical representations of the following weld parameter profiles with respect to time for the last cycle:

1.Spin Position (rev.)

2.Torque (% of max.) - spin motor torque

3.Vertical Distance (mm)

4.Thrust (% of max.) - vertical actuator thrust

5.Vertical Speed (mm/s)

This data is exported by the welder after each cycle if the Graph Export option in the System Setup screen is enabled (see Figure 5-32). It can also be exported on demand by pressing the EXPORT LAST WELD GRAPH DATA button in the Utilities screen (see Figure 5-30).

Plot Data

The profile data is displayed in this box with comma- separated values. The first line is a header row, containing the following parameters: total number of samples, sampling rate prior to trigger (ms), sampling rate during weld (ms), sample number at which weld started, torque trigger setting (% of max. / 10).

Plot

The plot shows all the profile curves (vertical axis) with respect to time (horizontal axis) in milliseconds. The icons immediately above the plot contain tools for a more detailed examination of the plot. Both the horizontal and vertical scale end values can be changed by double-clicking on the desired number and entering a new value.
