5.5.6 Record on USB drive
You can record welding data on a storage medium and read or analyse them using the Xnet quality ma-
nagement software when required. For machine variants with network capability (LG/WLG) only!
5.5.6.1 Register USB drive
To identify and allocate the welding data between power source and storage medium the storage medium
has to be registered once. This is done by selecting the menu option "Register USB drive" or by starting a
data recording process. Successful registration is indicated by a checkmark next to the relevant menu
option.
If the storage medium is registered and connected when the power source is being switched on, record-
ing of the welding data starts automatically.
5.5.6.2 Start recording
After confirming the start of data recording the storage medium will be registered (if not registered yet).
Data recording starts and is indicated at the main screen by a slow flashing of the icon.
5.5.6.3 Stop recording
To avoid data loss, finish the recording with this menu option before removing the USB drive or switching
off the machine.
Welding data must be imported into the Xnet quality management software using the XWDImport
software. This software is an integral part of the Xnet installation.
5.6 Welding task administration (Menu)
In this menu the user can carry out all welding task (JOB) organisation operations.
This machine series offers user-friendly operation and a multitude of features.
• Various welding tasks (JOBs) consisting of welding procedure, material type, wire diameter and shiel-
ding gas type have been predefined
> see 9.2 chapter
.
• The system calculates the required process parameters depending on the operating point specified
(one-knob operation via wire feed speed rotary transducer).
• You can adjust additional parameters at the machine control or using the PC300.NET welding para-
meter software, if required.
