SECTION VI -PROGRAMMING
6.0 INTRODUCTION
Programming is simply the name used to describe the process of entering or
changing the values for functions in a particular weld schedule. The PROGRAM
mode may be used to CREATE a new weld schedule or to MODIFY (make
changes) to an existing weld schedule. The PROGRAM mode is also used to
create a new weld schedule by COPYING an existing weld schedule and then
MODIFYING the copy of the original with the desired changes.
In addition to the CREATE, MODIFY AND COPY functions, the PROGRAM
mode also allows the user to make BACK UP copies of the memory to an external
memory device. This function provides both security in case of a failure in system
memory and provides a method to TRANSFER the memory from one system to
another to insure multiple system users of identical weld schedule libraries.
CAUTION
AUTHORIZATION AND ACCESS TO THE “PROGRAM” MODE SHOULD
BE CONTROLLED BECAUSE “DELETION” OF WELD SCHEDULES FROM
MEMORY IS ALSO A FEATURE OF THE MODE.
This section explains very basic operation of each of these programming
functions. For the most part the M-207A is self teaching because of the
instructions on the screen for each type of function; only general information is
given in this section.
To CREATE a weld schedule the OPERATE mode switch must be in the
PROGRAM position. All programming modes start from the STATUS screen.
Before attempting any program functions a complete understanding of system
functions is required. Insure that section IV has been reviewed before proceeding
with this section.
