procedures present in the library. Along with the title, or name of the
procedure, in the highlighted cursor box at the top or in the middle of the
screen, its description will appear across the bottom of the screen.
Using the cursor buttons on the HHC [PAGE UP], [PAGE DOWN],
[éSYMBOLS], [CASEê], [ç], and [è], or the arrow keys on the computer
keyboard [ç, è, é, ê], the operator can move the highlighted cursor box
to the weld procedure he requires.
Once the cursor box is on the procedure of choice press [ENTER], either on
the HHC or the keyboard, to accept this procedure.
The screen will now revert back to the MAIN MENU with the chosen
weld procedure ready for welding or modifying. Options [1 Weld with
Procedure ] and [5 Modify Procedure ], now have the name
of the procedure where once the blank lines were.
2.2 Setting Default Procedures
The ACL has a software feature that will allow the most common weld
procedure used, to be set as the default procedure. The default procedure
is the one most used when other procedures are cycled through the ACL
in a given days work.
To set the default procedure, choose the weld procedure from the library as
described in SELECTING WELD PROCEDURES above, then press [3 Select
Default Procedure ]. This will allow the operator to enter the chosen
procedure as the ‘Default Procedure’.
Should a different procedure be needed during the day, and not selected
to be the ‘Default Procedure’, option [3 Select Default Procedure ]
will still show the previously chosen procedure. To retrieve the ‘Default
Procedure’ for welding, press [3 Select Default Procedure ], then
press [ENTER]. This will automatically move the chosen ‘Default Procedure’
to the [1 Weld with Procedure ] option.
2.3 Welding and Testing Weld Procedures
Once a weld procedure has been loaded into the [1 Weld with
Procedure ] option, the operator may now choose this option and
begin welding, or testing.
Depending on the enabled options of the weld procedure (see MODIFYING
WELD PROCEDURES), the ACL will ask for some data entry: Name &
Headings, Serial Numbering and Serialization.
2.3.1 Name & Two Headings
These three data lines can be used for the operators’ name or identification
number, any information that describes that particular weld and/or
application, or the operator may press [ENTER] three times to accept blank
lines.
All this extra information can be used to identify the operator and a
series of welds to be performed.
2.3.2 Serial Numbers
Press [ENTER] to accept the value shown. This option is used for
serializing each individual weld with its own unique number; even test welds
can be serialized. Any number, up to four digits, can be entered and used
as the Serial Number.
2.3.3 Sequential Serialization
Once the Serial Number is entered, the ACL will ask if the operator would
like the serial numbers to become sequential. If [ENTER] or [NO] is
pressed, then each weld or test weld, will have the same Serial Number.
If [YES] is pressed, this will cause the serial number to be automatically
incremented by one after each weld or test weld.
