Attribute Description
Wire Feed Speed
Average Hundreds of times per second, the Welding Power Source takes a measurement
of the speed at which the wire is put into the weld (minus the Start and End
delays). When the weld is complete, the power source averages those
measurements together. The Wire Feed Speed Average column displays that
average wire feed speed value for this weld.
Wire Feed Speed
Maximum The Wire Feed Speed Maximum column is the highest wire feed speed
measurement taken by the Welding Power Source throughout the duration of
this weld (minus the Start and End delays).
Wire Feed Speed
Minimum Limit The Wire Feed Speed Minimum Limit column simply displays the low end of the
wire feed speed limit that was set in the Weld Profile used for the weld.
Wire Feed Speed
Maximum Limit The Wire Feed Speed Maximum Limit column simply displays the high end of the
wire feed speed limit that was set in the Weld Profile used for the weld.
Wire Feed Speed
Percent Low This value is the percentage of measurements taken during the weld (minus the
Start and End delays) that were below the wire feed speed limit set in the Weld
Profile that was used to make this weld.
Wire Feed Speed
Percent High This value is the percentage of measurements taken during the weld (minus the
Start and End delays) that were above the wire feed speed limit set in the Weld
Profile that was used to make this weld.
True Energy Average This column displays the True Energy™ calculated for this weld using the
following equation:

If the Welding Power Source that made the weld had older firmware and did not
support the True Energy™ calculation, this column displays a 0.
Traceability Tab
The Traceability tab displays a list of welds made for a single part number, a single operator ID, or a single
consumable lot code. This is extremely useful if you need to research the details of a specific weld.
Generally, you come to the Traceability report from elsewhere in Production Monitoring™.
TIP | Other reports may contain a link on the part number,
operator or consumable. You can click that link, and the
system automatically generates the Traceability report for
you based on that criteria.
If you know the part, operator or consumable lot you want to research, you can simply enter the ID number
in the Criteria and generate a report on your own.
Remember: Production Monitoring™ displays data based on the Welding Power Source or Group of power
sources you have selected in the Asset Tree. If you have a single Welding Power Source selected, for
