When transferring welding reports to a USB stick, always be sure to wait until the
display shows the "Download finished" message before you disconnect the USB
stick from the product. If you disconnect it too early, the unit may ask you whether
you want to delete the reports in memory, although they were not properly
transferred. In this case, if you delete the contents of the report memory, the
welding reports would be irrevocably lost and would not be available elsewhere
either.
8.1
Selecting the File Format
Connecting the storage media causes the the screen to appear in which the format of the
output file with the welding reports can be selected: a PDF file with an abstracted or extended
version of the report or the format of the welding data management application DataWork.
Using the ñ and ò arrow keys, select the file type you need and confirm your selection by
pressing the START/SET key.
The Service Report option is not important for normal operation. In the scope of computer-
assisted unit service, this report lists the events related to the maintenance of the welding unit.
After the file type was selected, the next screen offers a "Print All Reports" option. Selecting
it will download all welding reports currently in system memory in the previously selected file
format.
8.3
Downloading by Commission Number, Date or Report Range
After the file type was selected, the next screen offers a "By
Commission
Number," a "By Date Range," and a "By Report
Range" options. Depending on the selection, the ñ and ò arrow
keys can be used to select from the commissions currently in
system memory the desired one, of which the reports should be
downloaded, or the ï, ð, ñ, ò keys can be used (see Info in
Sect. 5.2) to enter a start date and an end date, or the first and
the last report, that define a range of dates or a range of reports
of which the reports should be downloaded. When you press the
START/SET key, you cause the selected reports to be transferred
to the storage media.
8.4
Understanding the Report Download Process
The download starts automatically after a selection was made among the options. Wait for
all the selected reports to transfer and the "Download completed" message to appear on the
screen.
If a problem occurs while the download is in progress, a "Not ready" message shows. After the
problem condition is cleared, the download resumes automatically.
If the welding unit recognizes a problem that cannot be cleared while the data
transfer is in progress, it does not resume the process and displays a "Download
cancelled" error message. To acknowledge this error, press the START/SET key.
8.5
Deleting Data from Memory
The report data in memory can be deleted only after all welding reports were transferred,
which is indicated by the "Download completed" message. When the storage media is
unplugged, a "Delete Memory" message appears. If the START/SET key is pressed at this
point, a further confirmation message "Delete Memory, sure?" is shown, which has to be
confirmed by pressing the START/SET key once again. Then, the report data in memory are
deleted.
8.6
Keeping Data in Memory
When the cable or storage media is unplugged, a "Delete Memory" message is displayed.
Press the STOP/RESET key to keep the current report data in memory. They can then be
printed off once again.
Make a habit of handling the internal storage as described at the beginning of
Sect. 8, to maintain data integrity and avoid any inadvertent deletion of the reports
in memory.
