WaveWriter is our premium Palm software
package for Axcess systems. For Palm
handhelds, it includes all of the Palm Axcess
File Management functions plus a simple,
pulsed MIG wave-shaping program for the
most demanding pulsed MIG applications.
Customers can expect exceptional welding
performance from any Axcess system from
the programs for common wire and gas
combinations— right out of the box. For
those who need to adjust pulse parameters
for special situations or to achieve a specific
result, WaveWriter will allow anyone to alter
a factory program for a specific wire, gas
or weld joint configuration. Many welding
engineers may find this tool useful in
developing their own unique competitive
advantage and having their own proprietary
weld programs.
With WaveWriter it is possible to change
parameters while welding and immediately
see the effect of the change in the arc.
Real-time feedback helps in understanding
the effect of changing the sometimes
confusing pulse wave form variables
(such as pulse peak, pulse width,
background, and rise and fall rates)
which saves enormous expense and time
in welding procedure development. Most of
the essential variables required for process
and procedure development are not only
precisely controllable and stored, but the
upper and lower control limits can be
established to assure shop floor control.

Simply put, the new Miller (Palm
™
OS-based) file
management software turns a standard handheld
(PDA) into a data card and a remote pendant control
for all Axcess systems. This is in addition to all other
functions a handheld is typically used for. By using a
handheld in this manner, we have built a powerful
intuitive interface on a common affordable, portable platform. This opens the door to functions and
capabilities not previously available from Miller or from the welding industry as a whole.
With Miller’s Axcess File Management installed on your Palm OS handheld you can:
There are 3 basic types of files:
1) Programs – Contain all the welding data that create an arc: volts, amps, wire feed rates, wire type,
size, gas and appropriate arc control. They also contain all the time-based functions typically used
in welding: pre-flow, start conditions, ramps, crater fill, retract, and post-flow.
2) Configuration – Files contain Locks, Errors and Feeder information that include robot selection
type (Robot Control – PS Wire and Gas, Shared Control – Arc On-Analog, and Power Source
Control – Arc On-No Analog). Configuration enables error messages, dual schedule, and remote
program select to be selected. It also allows for checking software revisions and arc/ cycle time
data. Using configuration you can set Auto-Thread
™
torch length allowing for pushbutton feed of
an exact wire length.
3) Back-up – Back-up files allow a convenient and simple way to store all files from a welding power
source in a Palm handheld.
Each type can reside or be “Axcess”ed in any of 3 locations:
1) Welder – The welding power source holds the main library of welding programs.
2) Handheld – The handheld acts as an interim storage device where files can be pulled from the
power source stored or modified.
3) E-mail – Files can be stored for Email in this location.
Any of the files can be cut, copied, pasted, modified, UN-protected files can also be beamed through
IR port. Copyright-protected and Miller proprietary files cannot be transferred such as Palm Axcess
File Management, WaveWriter
™
, and RMD
™
welding process.
