NOTE
In the above example Energy was the primary method
of weld control. Next, the energy of the weld was set (in
Joules). The program then asks the operator to choose
and set a MAX WELD TIME, a secondary characteristic
that also controls the weld. Select a time between 0 and 30
seconds. The time forces the weld portion of the cycle to
stop even if the energy parameter is not met. Press ENTER.
An ENTRY ACCEPTED message will appear.
