Total Distance Window
The section to the left shows the window as it would be displayed
for a typical setting. It will only be displayed if Distance 2 has a
non-zero value, incremental weld mode is selected and one of the
distances has been given the focus as described above.
The window can be removed by clicking the mouse on any portion
of the
Total Distance
Window. The underlying tolerance settings
will be returned.
The
Total Distance
Window will not be displayed for
the absolute welding mode because the weld numbers
are referenced from home and do not effect each other
as they would for an incremental setup.
12.0 The Data Logging Form
TOC
-
The Monitor/Logging Form is provided to monitor a production operation.
When a weld has been completed, a status line is sent from the ultrasonic welder and a final distance report is
sent from the stepper motor controller. This presentation combines the status line from each unit and displays
one line after each weld.
Up to 100 lines will be retained on the form. They may be reviewed using the vertical slide bar on the right
side of the text area. The slide bar will automatically be enabled when the viewable text area has been filled.
Beyond 100 lines of history, the data will roll off the form and be lost to the active text area. To save all data
lines see the File Logging option below. File logging allows all data to be logged to a file for later examination
using any word processor or text editor.
A line number reference plus a time and date stamp are appended to the beginning of each line. The line
number reference begins at one (1) each time the program begins, it cannot be set by the operator. The time
and date stamp is taken from the computer system information.
