Welder Detail
The Welder Detail widget displays detailed information about the selected Welding Power Source and is
useful when troubleshooting and you need to know the details about the components inside the power
source. When the CheckPoint™ administrator first registers this power source in the application,
CheckPoint™ updates this widget with the information from the power source. CheckPoint™ also updates
the information on the widget anytime the power source is powered on.
TIP | If this widget is blank or does not contain information, turn
the power source off then on again to force an update.
