Section 8 - Welder Data Export Software

Introduction

A Windows™ application named Dual Servo Spin Welder Utility, can be used to capture data exported by the welder to a PC. This application is also capable of importing the servo tuning database, and obtaining messages from the machine that may be useful in trou- bleshooting.

Hardware and

Software Requirements

The utility requires a PC or laptop running a Windows 2000™, XP™, or Vista™ operating system. A straight DB-9 cable is needed to interface to the welder. The cable must be terminated with a male connector where it connects to the welder.

Installation,

Startup, and Cable

Connections

To install the program, Run the setup.exe file located in the Dukane Dual Servo Spin Utility Installer folder on the CD supplied with the welder and follow the prompts on the screen.

Once installed, run the program. It can be accessed through:

Start Menu -> All Programs -> Dukane -> Dual

Servo SpinWelder Utility

Connect the cable between the Data Port on the weld- er (located above the power switch on the rear of the welder) and a serial port on the PC or a USB-to-serial converter. If a converter is to be used, the serial com- munications settings should be as follows:
