Reset follows Program Number 04. To assign Reset to a Link position, select the function and press Right/In- crease repeatedly to go beyond Program Number 04. To assign a number when Reset is displayed, select Reset and press Left/Decrease.

9.Repeat Steps 7 and 8 as needed to define the desired function for each Link position being used.

10.Select the Link Position number in the upper right cor- ner of the display, and press Right/Increase or Left/Decrease to display the number of the first Link po- sition to be executed when the program is executed.

NOTE	The Link position shown when the
	Link mode is exited is the first
	position executed when the Link
	programs are run . Be sure the
	desired Link position is showing
	before exiting the Link mode.

11.Press Right/Increase when there are no parameters selected in the Link Position display. The repeating Link mode displays will appear.

12.Press Parameter Select while the repeating displays are shown to exit the Link mode. The display shows:

” C O M B I N E ” M O D E

U S E R E M O T E T O S T A R T

13.If desired, use the Combine mode as explained in Sec- tion 5-10. To exit the Combine mode without using it, press Parameter Select while this display is shown. The microprocessor control will enter the Ready condi- tion.

5-10. Combining Programs

NOTE	The Combine	feature is only
	available in the	following modes:
	Automatic, Semi-Automatic 1, and
	Semi-Automatic 5.

The Combine feature uses parameters from several programs to create a single multi-slope weld program. The first program defines preflow, initial amperage, initial to weld amperage slope, and the weld amperage. Following specified programs provide weld to weld slopes and weld times. The weld to weld slopes are calculated by the microprocessor control. The last program provides the final slope, and final amperage and post- flow values. This is useful in applications using multiple non-stop passes, such as pipe-welding with the use of a seam- tracker.

When the Combine mode is entered, three displays are re- peated in sequence, indicating that the Combine Ready condition is active. These displays must be present in order to start execution of the combined programs.

To combine programs, proceed as follows:

1.Be sure one of the proper modes is selected (see Im- portant block at beginning of this section).

2.Call up the following display (this is one of the repeating displays explained in Section 5-1F).

3.Press Parameter Select to increase the program num- ber beyond 4. The following repeating Link mode display appears:

P R O G R A M ” L I N K ” M O D E

U S E R E M O T E T O S T A R T

4.Press Parameter Select to enter the Combine mode. The following repeating Combine mode displays ap- pear:

” C O M B I N E ” M O D E

5.Press Right/Increase, and the display shows:

C O M B I N E P O S I T I O N X X I S X X X X X X X

6.The Combine position (1 through 4) is indicated in the upper right corner. The second line indicates what function (either a program number or Reset) is as- signed to the position.

7.To change the number of the Combine position, select it and press either Right/Increase or Left/Decrease to change the value as desired. As the Combine position numbers change, the function currently assigned to that position will be displayed in the second line.

8.To change the function assigned to a Combine posi- tion, select the function and press either Right/Increase or Left/Decrease to change the value.

Reset follows Program Number 04. To assign Reset to a Combine position, select the function and press
