Once logging has been activated, quality data is saved continuously on the compact
flash card, i.e. after each weld, data about it is automatically saved in a file on the
card. With the first weld after logging has been started, a file is generated into which
data on all subsequent welds is also saved.
For a description of quality data, see the 13 ”Quality functions” chapter, and for
information on what the quality data files contain, see the 10.8 ”Quality data files
content” chapter.
Naming quality data files with continuous incorporation
The files are named using the format CQdata050621_01.aqd. The file name always
starts with CQdata (specific to continuously saved quality data) and ends with .aqd
(common to all quality data files). T he figures in the example denote that it is a file
generated on 21 June 2005 and that was the first file generated on that day.
If logging is suspended and resum e d on the same day, the later file will have a
higher serial number. In this example, the name of the new file would be
CQdata050621_02.aqd.
If logging continues into the next day, a new file will be initiated with the day’s date in
the name. In this example, the name of the new file would be CQda-
ta050622_01.aqd.
The file is placed in a folder called QData. QData is generated automatically when
you insert a compact flash card.
