Windows 98/NT WSS Stepper Monitor

The WSS Stepper Monitor is a Windows 98/NT/2000 program that provides a real-time data display of remote Medar Weld Support System (WSS) Welders Stepper information. The program allows an operator to monitor the stepper status in a graphical format or as a single gun data monitor. The graphical data may be displayed and sorted by the Gun name, Weld count or Dress Count.

The WSS Stepper Monitor windows application communicates to a monitoring program in the remote Medar WSS Unix computer. It is this program that communicates and processes the individual Medar welder stepper information. The windows application program continually monitors the remote Medar Weld Controls and provides the operator with real-time information.

Advantages

	Reduced Tip Changes by scheduling changes based on actual tip usage.
	Reduced man power by reducing unnecessary tip changes
	Real-time monitoring of welder stepper and tip operation at electricians stations.

Printer Reports
