Description
Consumable Serial
Number
The Consumable Serial Number is the consumable lot code that comes from a
variety of sources, depending if a person enters the number in Power Wave®
Manager manually or if the information is transmitted automatically.
The time displayed in the Duration column is the length of time it took to create
the individual weld.
WeldScore™
The WeldScore column displays the average score for this weld. Every quarter of
a second, the Welding Power Source compares the performance of the weld
against the trained weld for the Weld Profile being used. When the weld is
complete, the power source averages those measurements together for an
average WeldScore™ value. For more details on WeldScore™, please see page
1.3.
Hundreds of times per second, the Welding Power Source takes a measurement
of the arc current while the welder is active for this weld. When the weld is
complete, the power source averages those measurements together. The Current
column displays that average arc current value for this individual weld.
Voltage
Wire Feed
Hundreds of times per second, the Welding Power Source takes a measurement
of the speed at which the wire is put into the weld. When the weld is complete,
the power source averages those measurements together. The Wire Feed column
displays that average wire feed speed value for this weld.
This column displays the True Energy™ calculated for this weld using the following
equation:
ୀଵ
If the Welding Power Source that made the weld had older software and did not
support the True Energy™ calculation, this column displays a 0. See page 5.28 for
more details on True Energy™.
Status
Based on the Weld Profile used for the weld, the system displays whether the
weld fell within the limits set for the Weld Profile or if the weld was out of limits
(and for which limit).
