weld_energy is the parameter that specifies the amount of weld energy. In th
feedback mode, weld_energy is in unit of 0.001 k
A. In the voltage feedback mode,
weld_energy is in units of 0.001 V. In the power feedback mode, weld_energy
0.001 kW.
volt multiplier is an index value for a table of resistance v
s. a PID multiplier for voltage mode.
Note: Not used in versions where RINDEXx and EINDEXx are present.
resistance index
is an index value into a table of resistance vs. energy PID tables. If 0, then a
test pulse will occur on the next weld to determine
the actual resistance (Note: customer
control of this value is not recommended)
energy index
is an index value into a PID energy vs. PID values table. (Note: customer control
of this value is not recommended)

Control State
Any except while welding
Provides control over the basic weld monitor settings of the Power Supply schedule. When
used with the "READ" keyword, the basic weld monitor settings of the currently loaded
schedule are returned (see MONITOR under Power Supply Originated Commands). When the
"SET" keyword is used, the host may set (change) the value of one or more of the parameters
of the basic weld monitor settings pertaining to the currently loaded schedule. The following
is a list of valid literal substitutions for the parameter_name and value variables:
MONTYPE1 { KA | V | KW| R } Monitor Type for pulse 1
UPPER1 { limit_value } Upper Limit for pulse 1
LOWER1 { limit_value } Lower Limit for pulse 1
ACTION1 { none | STOP | INHIBIT | APC } Out of Limit Action for pulse 1
MONTYPE2 { KA | V | KW| R } Monitor Type for pulse 2
UPPER2 { limit_value } Upper Limit for pulse 2
LOWER2 { limit_value } Lower Limit for pulse 2
ACTION2 { none | STOP } Out of Limit Action for pulse 2
