Details

1.

Click the Backup/Restore menu item.

On the Backup tab, click the Backup button.

The program prompts you for a location where

you would like to save the file. The default

location is the path you established under the

Preferences button (page 4.1). The file name

defaults to the serial number of the control board

in the Welding Power Source plus the current date

and time.

3.

Click OK.

The system creates the backup file. The backup

could take a few moments.

Restoring a Backup

You can use a backup file to restore the same power source to a previous state, or you can use a backup file

to quickly configure another power source as you set up your production line. When you use a backup file,

you choose the settings you want to restore, and the process overwrites the existing settings on the

connected power source.
