Setting up CheckPoint™

Now that you have updated the Welding Power Source firmware, have the latest version of Power Wave®
Manager software installed, and have enabled CheckPoint™ for the first Welding Power Source, you are

center.

following web site:

CheckPoint™ (once you have a user account), take a tour of all the features of CheckPoint™ and learn all
