Description

Avg. Voltage

Hundreds of times per second, the Welding Power Source takes a measurement of
the arc voltage while the welder is active for this weld. When the weld is complete,
the power source averages those measurements together. The Avg. Voltage
column displays that average arc voltage value for this weld.

Avg. Current

Hundreds of times per second, the Welding Power Source takes a measurement of
the arc current while the welder is active for this weld. When the weld is complete,
the power source averages those measurements together. The Avg. Current
column displays that average arc current value for this weld.

Avg. WFS

Hundreds of times per second, the Welding Power Source takes a measurement of
the speed at which the wire is put into the weld. When the weld is complete, the
power source averages those measurements together. The Avg. WFS column
displays that average wire feed speed value for this weld.

True Energy™

This column displays the True Energy™ calculated for this weld using the following
equation:

If the Welding Power Source that made the weld had older firmware and did not
support the True Energy™ calculation, this column displays a 0.

Weld Detail

When you click the Start of Weld column on the Summary report, CheckPoint™ displays in-depth details
about the individual weld. The Weld Detail is a wealth of information about the data points collected by
the Welding Power Source. Table 11.3 explains the data in more detail. Once you have reviewed the
details of the weld, click the Return to Summary link at the top of the report to go back to the report you
were on.
