6.3.2 USB
The two USB ports available on the 2000Xc Power Supply are USB 2.0 compliant, allowing
complete plug and play, and hot attach/detach for up to 127 external devices. USB 2.0 is
fully backward compatible with USB 1.1, supporting speeds of 1.5, 12 and 480 Mbps. For
example, keyboard and mouse can be used with USB port at low speed, while USB
memory stick will run at High-speed. Information can be transferred to a PC using the
Branson History Utility to view and process information. This can be useful when weld
history data requirements exceed the maximum of 100,000 weld history data that can be
stored in the power supply.
To download data and graphs, a memory stick must be inserted into the USB port (or
hub). Then activate the communication through the touchscreen Main Menu:
The storage capacity of the memory stick will determine the number of cycles and graphs
the stick can hold. The data space required for each weld cycle is: 1.0 KB for weld data
and 1.35KB for each graph.
To view the stored data on a PC you may use Branson’s history utility program 2000Xc
History.exe. For more information, see 6.3.3 Branson 2000Xc History Utility.
