the test function. (Sigma = MSB, LSB/24; i.e. 55 =2.29)
25 24 DENSITY: VOLUME Sigma – The MSB byte sets the Arc
Density sigma value used by the sensor for process limits.
The LSB byte sets the Weld Volume sigma value used by
sensor for process limits. Setting the Sigma value to 0 will
disable the test function. (Sigma = MSB, LSB/24; i.e. 55
=2.29)
26 25 DELAY: WELDS – The MSB byte sets the start/end Test
delay time. The value is in 0.1 second increments and sets
the delay time from arc start to begin testing and the end
time, prior to arc off, to stop testing. The LSB indicates the
number of welds per part. This value is set during the learn
mode.
The following is a summary of the Report Slave ID and Status (Code 17)

3 Status Byte Bit 0 = Ram Full
Bit 1 = Battery Ok
Bit 2 = Self Test Ok
Bit3-7 = 0
4 Firmware Version Number – BCD Format (MSB = Major: ISB = Minor)
5 Firmware Version Number – BCD Format (MSB+LSB = Release)
4.4 Coil Definitions and Operation
The Micro ADM™ has 16 simulated output coils. These coils are used as
internal bit flags to perform specific functions. Only 1-8 of the simulated coils is
used. Setting the coils 8-16 will not have any effect on the Micro ADM™
controller. However, they are reserved for future expansion. The Micro ADM™
supports both single and group force coil commands. Refer to Section 4.3 for
summary of the Coil functions.
To clear the Micro ADM™ weld and average counters or reset the total arc timer,
force the specific coil to the “ON” condition. The Micro ADM™ will clear the
requested counter or timer and then reset the coil to the “OFF” condition
signifying a successful operation.
To disable the auto arc on detection mode force coil 2 to the “ON” condition.
When set the Micro ADM™ will only log data when the remote on input is active.
To allow normal arc on detection Coil 2 must be in the “OFF” condition.
To set the Real time clock perform the following steps:
