Downloading the Weld Memory
The data log memory is downloaded by using an ‘industry standard’
USB flash memory device. The data can be encrypted for
protection, to stop unauthorised alteration of the information.
A data download manager is available free of charge and is
supplied on the USB memory device with the welding unit. This
allows the encrypted data to be read, filtered, printed and saved. It
also allows the data to be saved as an encrypted file or as a
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
Plug the USB flash memory drive into the USB connector on the
side of the welding unit.
From the main menu:
Press the D Quick-Key to select options.
Press the A Quick-Key to select download data.
Confirm that you want to download the data. The display will show
that it is “Enumerating the device”. While this is showing, the unit is
initialising the memory drive. The data will now be downloaded.
The display will ask if you want to reset the data log memory. Select
yes or no then disconnect the memory drive when prompted to do
so.
The data can be download as either an encrypted PFD file, or as a
plain text XLS file. To change the setting please contact your
approved service centre.
Upgrading the Operating Software
The operating software can be upgraded through the external USB
connector. New software is loaded onto a USB memory drive then
flashed into the welding unit using a password code. This allows the
software to be upgraded without opening up the unit or changing
the memory chip.
Software upgrade must be carried out by an approved service
agent, and are emailed from the manufacturer.
