12.2.4. Backup/Restore
The WSP3 allows the data in one iPAK2 to be transferred to another by using the Backup
and Restore functions.
Use the Backup function to make a copy of all the iPAK2’s settings. The copy is
held within the WSP3. The data in the iPAK2 is unchanged. Note that only one
backup can be stored in the WSP3 and that this is overwritten each time the
backup function is used.
Use the Restore function to restore all of the settings in the iPAK2 from a backup
stored in the WSP3 pendant. Note that this operation will overwrite all data
which was previously stored in the iPAK2. After the restore operation the backup
remains in the WSP3.
12.2.5. Initialise data
The Initialise function sets all of the parameters in the iPAK2 to predefined values.
The Initialise function will overwrite all previously stored data in the iPAK2. After an initialise
operation, review the configuration and calibration settings and ensure they are
appropriate for the application. Also review the welding programs that will be used.
12.3. Programming with NetFlash
NetFlash is a PC-compatible program which provides a graphical user interface to program
and monitor one or more iPAK2s. In addition, NetFlash provides backup/restore functions for
control data, live data logging to a file and a utility for updating the firmware in the iPAK2.
Please see the separate NetFlash User Guide document.
