1. Tool Bar Tool bar menus access alternate windows, open and save files, etc. Detailed
instructions are provided in paragraph 3.2.2.
2. Workpoint Selector/Editor The workpoint selector includes a pulldown window for
selecting a workpoint and an edit window for changing the listing of workpoint values. For
the Pulse Waveform Editor, the workpoints are wire feed speeds. The workpoint parameter
(peak voltage, current, etc.) varies with the welding mode (pulse, STT, etc.). Refer to
paragraph 3.2.3 for more detail on selecting and editing workpoints.
3. Variable Parameters The listing of variable parameters display the active parameter
values for the selected WFS. The parameter values are changed (edited) with the related
arrows and slide bars or by moving parameter nodes in the waveform graphic editor. See
paragraph 3.2.4 for more details on editing variable parameters and the wave shape.
4. Graphic Editor The graphic editor displays the active wave shape. The wave shape
changes when the parameter values are changed. The displayed wave parameter nodes
(boxes) can be selected with your mouse to edit the variable parameters. Pressing the
<F1> key will also toggle from one selected node to another. See paragraph 3.2.4 for more
details on editing variable parameters and the wave shape.
