Virtual Welding Overview
While a user is welding, observers can see the
Welderʼs view, LASER screen, or Instructorʼs view
displayed on the monitor. The Welderʼs view shows
what the user with the helmet on is seeing through the
FMD. The LASER screen displays a real time graph
of the weld being made and gives a score when the
user selects “end pass”. The Instructorʼs view allows
another user to zoom in/out and rotate the coupon to
view the weldment from different angles in real time.
Polarity Selector
Change the polarity by rotating the polarity selector
switch. The user can select the following:
• AC
• DC+
• DC-

manual.
Once the user has set the welding parameters, they
should press the green check settings button. If the
user has entered any settings outside the acceptable
range specified by the settings in the tolerance editor,
the incorrect weld setting screen will appear.
The user will then have to change any settings that
are not correct. If the settings are correct and the
green check settings button is pressed, the welderʼs
view screen will appear on the monitor and in the hel-
metʼs stereo visor. The user will then be able to start
virtual welding.
