• Segment Data Mode (Default Setting: None)
All: All segment summary data records will be recorded and stored in the database. If a
segment summary is stored in the database, then the associated weld record must be stored
also. If Segment Data Mode is set to All, then Weld Data Mode is also automatically set
to All.
Failed: If a weld is rejected, segment summary data is recorded only for those segments that
contained failed halfcycles. If Segment Data Mode is set to Failed, Weld Data Mode
cannot be set to None.
None: No segment summary data records will be recorded.
• Weld Data Mode (Default Setting: All)
All: All weld summary data records will be recorded and stored in the database.
Failed: Weld summary data is recorded for failed welds only.
None: No weld summary data records will be recorded but Accept/Reject signals are still asserted.
• Scope Enable (Default Setting: 0)
Scope Mode allows raw weld data to be captured at a high sample rate and stored in the Waveform
table of the Livco.mdb database. The Waveform data is overwritten each time weld data is
captured in Scope Mode. The Scope Enable should be set to 0 for production applications.
0: Scope Mode is disabled. 1: Scope Mode is enabled.
This function is for diagnostic purposes and should only be used under the direction of a
Livingston representative. Due to the significant amount of data processed in Scope Mode, the
2400 may be busy for a considerably long period of time after a weld has been completed.
Increasing the Trigger Pre and Trigger Post settings will increase the time needed for this
processing.
• Trigger Mode (Applies only when Scope Mode is Enabled)
Repeat: Each weld is captured in Scope Mode. Due to the amount of data recorded in Scope
Mode, the 2400 may be busy for a considerable period of time after the weld has
been completed. Use the LEDs on the front panel to determine when the monitor is
finished recording the waveform.
Single Shot: Data for the first weld following the Scope Enable setting of 1 is captured in Scope
Mode. The Scope Enable parameter is then automatically reset to a value of 0.
First Failure: Data for the first Rejected weld following the Scope Enable setting of 1 is captured
in Scope Mode. The Scope Enable parameter is then automatically reset to a value
of 0. This mode is useful for catching intermittent elusive failures, however the
monitor will be busy for an indeterminate amount of time while recording a
waveform. This means that any welds following the failure will not be monitored
until the 2400 has finished recording and is not busy.
