Chapter 3: How to Use the Pico Software Interface
The Pico’s secret sauce is its digital interface. The Pico lets you set energy, force, displacement, timing, and oth -
er weld parameters to an exact number, something you can’t do with other welders. In this chapter you’ll learn
how the software is organized and how to use each feature.
Navigation Bar
The Navigation Bar at the top of the screen allows you to quickly access other parts of the welder’s systems
by touching each icon with your finger (see Figure 12.1). The Navigation Bar includes six icons representing the
welder’s main systems: Run, Servo Control, Weld Settings, Communications, Save/Load, and System Settings.
Run Screen (A)
Touch the Run Screen icon (A) in the Navigation Bar to display the current settings of the weld dis -
charge and servo weld head. See page 13 to learn how to use the Run Screen.
Weld Head Control Screen (B)
Touch the Weld Head Control Screen icon (B) to be guided through the set-up of a weld head. On page
15 you’ll learn how to use the Weld Head Control Screen. The Weld Head Control Screen icon only
appears when the weld head is connected and powered on.
Weld Settings Screen (C)
Touch the Weld Settings Screen icon (F) to set the parameters of the weld discharge. See page 21 for
additional details regarding pulse settings and weld control.
Figure 12.1. The Navigation Bar allows you to access the Pico’s six main operational screens: (A) Run Screen; (B) Weld Head Control
Screen; (C) Weld Settings Screen; (D) Save/Load Screen; (E) Communications Screen for PLC features; and (F) Systems Setting Screen.
