3.2.4 EDITING VARIABLE PARAMETERS
The following is a summary of the different methods available for changing (editing) parameter
values on the Waveform Editor screen and other display screens accessible through Wave
Designer. Read the following information carefully before making parameter changes on the
Waveform Editor screen.
• The variable editor and wave shape graphic functions are interrelated.
• Click once on an edit parameter arrow to increase or
decrease the parameter value by one unit; click and
hold the arrow to ramp the value up or down.
• Click on and drag the parameter display scroll bar to
scroll through the value range.
• Select (highlight) the parameter value. Select and
use the up/down keys
∂ ƒ
to change the value. Hold
down the Ctrl key while using the up/down keys to
change the value 10 times faster. You may directly
type in the desired value.
• Click on a node (hot spot) on the waveform graphic
and use the parameter arrows or drag the node with
your mouse as needed to achieve the desired
parameter value readout. Use the keyboard arrow
keys
∂ ƒ ß ©
to move the hot spot. Press Ctrl and an
arrow key to move the hot spot 10 times faster. Use
the F1 key to jump to the next hot spot.
Uncontrolled drag with the mouse can result in large changes to the welding
machine output. Large changes can result in unexpected and undesired results.
We recommend using the edit arrows or keyboard entry to change parameter
values on-line.
• The expand and contract graphic arrows change the time scale on the X-axis to expand or
contract the wave shape.
To select a Waveform Editor parameter for edit, click on
the parameter check boxes as needed to erase the
checkmarks for all other parameters.
If a parameter has a visible checkmark, the related
parameter value will remain fixed; you cannot change it.
When a parameter is known to be set properly, you may
wish to leave it fixed while adjusting other parameters. However, the variables are interrelated;
changing parameters while one or more is fixed may unpredictably effect other variables.
