Weldometer

Overview
The Weldometer ® tracks virtual consumables, base
material and gas usage. This information can be used
to track materials and cost savings incurred by the
use of virtual welding training. The Weldometer
®
tracks material usage and arc time over a “trip” (since
last reset) and over the VR systemʼs lifetime.
Arc Time keeps track of the amount of time
(hours:min:seconds) students have a virtual arc struck
with each process.

LICENSE INFORMATION SCREEN
License Information
The VRTEX ® 360 is a full featured virtual reality arc
welding training solution. As a software based sys-
tem, the VRTEX
® 360 provides the end user with fea-
tures and functionality that are licensed, or enabled,
when they operate on the machine.
An example of such a feature is the Desert Base
Environment on the VRTEX
® 360 . If a new electrode
or welding process is added to the VRTEX ® 360 , it
would be enabled as a Licensed Feature as well. The
licensed features on the VRTEX
® 360 are specific to
the MAC Address, or computer address of each
machine specifically.
