Manager. If installing Power Wave® Manager for the first time, these instructions are also for you. Power
Wave® Manager is a software application that allows you to manage a multitude of settings and
configuration options within the Lincoln Electric Power Wave® family of Welding Power Sources. It also
provides in-depth diagnostics of the Welding Power Source’s hardware and firmware to help identify and
eliminate issues with welding or configuration.
TIP | If you already have Power Wave® Manager installed, you
can simply open the software. Depending on your version
of the software, the system automatically checks for and
installs any updates. If it doesn’t do this automatically, you
can click the Check for Updates button. If the software
updates, you can skip ahead to the next section.
