Time Settings on the Power Source

The Power Source time section displays the current time on the Welding Power Source’s internal clock. The

power source uses this when recording internal events, errors, and information that it sends to Production

Monitoring™ and CheckPoint™.

NOTE |

The Production Monitoring™ and CheckPoint™ application,

if present, periodically sets the clock on the Welding Power

Source to match the time of the Production Monitoring™

server or the CheckPoint™ data center, whichever is

applicable.

If the time shown on the Welding Power Source does not match the time on your local computer, you can

manually synchronize the clocks. Simply click the Synchronize button and the software changes the time

on the Welding Power Source to match the time on your computer.

NOTE |

The Synchronize button is not available when CheckPoint™

is enabled. The power source updates the time

automatically from the CheckPoint™ data center.

Total Welding Lifetime

The Arc time section displays the total amount of time that the Welding Power Source has generated an arc

over its lifetime. The time appears in HH:MM:SS format (hours, minutes, and seconds). If the number of

hours is greater than 23, place a check mark in the Show days checkbox to convert the hours into days and

display the result.

Weld Controller

If the Welding Power Source supports the following features, you can use the Weld Controller section to set

a couple of control options:

Workpoint in Amps: Use this option to base the output level on Amps instead of wire feed

speed.

Trim in Volts: You can use this to set the output level based on voltage instead of a unitless

control.

STOP |

If you make changes to the Weld Controller and click Apply

settings button, the Welding Power Source automatically

resets. Be careful that no welding is currently in progress.
