This tab allows you to record the DeviceNet network traffic coming to and from the Welding Power
Source’s DeviceNet interface and create a file you can send to Lincoln Electric support or keep for reference
in the future. This is extremely useful for troubleshooting communication issues.

Simply set your options and click the Start trace button when you’re ready to capture DeviceNet messages.
Click the Stop trace button when you have the information you need. Power Wave® Manager downloads
the recorded messages from the DeviceNet module and displays them in the list, with all relevant fields
decoded. Table 7.2 explains your options in more detail.
NOTE | The Read trace button allows you to transfer the buffered
data from the Welding Power Source into Power Wave®
Manager manually if needed.
TIP | Click the Save trace button to export the data to a file that
you can send to Lincoln Electric Support for troubleshooting
or keep for your own reference in the future.
