5. Optional Windows The optional window buttons open additional windows used during

wave shaping. Optional windows in the pulse Waveform Editor include Start, Adapt, Short,
End, and About. Details about the use of most optional windows is covered in the applicable
appendix (i.e. Appendix A for Pulse Wave Shaping). We use the About window shown in
Figure 3-3 to record descriptive weld application data for custom wave shape files. This
information is stored with the program in the computer and in the Power Wave.

6. Wave Designer Status Bar This status bar provides a scrolled listing of recent program

events, error conditions, etc. Use the arrow keys

ƒ

to scroll through the listings. The status

bar includes three system status indicators: on line/off line, standby/welding, and
adaptive/non-adapt. The adaptive indicator is also a button that toggles between the
adaptive and non-adaptive mode.

7. Volts/Amps Display The Volts/Amps display, Figure 3-4, provides real time, oscilloscope

type displays of the voltage and amperage outputs from the connected power source.
Smaller display monitors (640 x 480 pixels or less) will not show the volts/amps display.
