Clean removes the weld slag. Trim cuts back the VR
GMAW or VR FCAW wire. Quench simulates quickly
cooling the metal. New Stick extends the rod stick
out to a fixed length on the VR SMAW device to simu-
late replacing the consumed rod.
Visual Cues
Visual cues are aids to help users learn faster. The
travel speed, CTWD, arc length, and travel/work angle
cues indicate whether the user is within the tolerances
set in the tolerances editor. Generally, these cues are
color coded as well as symbolic. When cues are red,
they indicate being out of tolerance. Yellow cues indi-
cate close to tolerance, but not optimal. Green cues
indicate being within tolerance and close to optimal.
The “Cheater” Lens magnifies the image as seen by
the user in the helmet and in the welderʼs view. The
user can toggle between Off, 1.25X, 1.5X, 1.75X, 2X
select their option with the red select button.
Travel Speed turns on the travel speed visual cue.
This cue is located on the side of the VR
GMAW/FCAW Gun or VR SMAW device. This cue
uses the color coding position to indicate travel speed.
Note: The goal is to keep the arrow in the center of
the graph which will also keep it green.
TRAVEL SPEED VISUAL CUE
The CTWD (Contact Tip To Work Distance) cue is
only available for VR GMAW and VR FCAW process-
es. This cue uses color and position to indicate proper
CTWD. The goal is to get the tip of the green arrow
on the line of the “H” bar and keep the arrow color
green.
