To create a backup of the Welding Power Source to which you are currently connected:
Procedure Details
1. Click the Backup/Restore menu item.
2. On the Backup tab, click the Backup button. The program prompts you for a location where
you would like to save the file. The default
location is the path you established under the
Preferences button (page 4.1). The file name
defaults to the serial number of the control board
in the Welding Power Source plus the current date
and time.
3. Click OK. The system creates the backup file. The backup
could take a few moments.
Restoring a Backup
You can use a backup file to restore the same power source to a previous state, or you can use a backup file
to quickly configure another power source as you set up your production line. When you use a backup file,
you choose the settings you want to restore, and the process overwrites the existing settings on the
connected power source.
