• Repair Database
If a database file is open by the weld monitor
software (or an external application such as
Microsoft Access) and an improper shutdown
occurs, the database may become damaged.
This repair option is basically the same repair
tool that is provided with Microsoft Access.
This option should only be executed if
recommended by a Livingston service
technician. It is recommended that a Compact
Database be performed after the database is
repaired.
WARNING: Welds cannot be monitored while
the Repair Database option is in use. Any
remote user interface windows must also be closed. The program will not let you leave this
screen or monitor welds until the repair operation is complete. DO NOT shutdown the weld
monitor during this operation.
• Delete All Welds
This option will delete all weld data records but
will not compact the database. Master data will
not be deleted. It is recommended that the
System Log be deleted at this time. Refer to
System Log section in this Chapter.
WARNING: Welds cannot be monitored while
the Delete All Welds option is in use. Any
remote user interface windows must also be
closed. If the Cancel button is used, the weld
monitor must be shut down and restarted. DO
NOT shutdown the weld monitor during this
operation. The database must be compacted
after all welds are deleted.
Note: Weld data should be deleted periodically to avoid filling the weld database to capacity (refer to
FAQ, Chapter 9).
