When setting up the virtual equipment, the user must set the welding parameters (e.g. wire feed speed for VR GMAW) within the ranges set in the tolerance edi- tor. The system ships with Lincoln default tolerances. Lincoln default tolerances can be reviewed in the toler- ance editor, or refer to the Default Weld Process Settings Chart (if using the default settings) located in this manual. The WPSʼs are also available on www.VRTEX360.com. However, users can set and use their own tolerances for teaching beginner welders. The tolerances also determine how the user is scored on such parameters as work angle, travel angle, travel speed, position, and contact tip to work distance or arc length.

Pressing the red select button enters the letter highlighted into the enter name box as indicated. The virtual keyboard starts with shift enabled, so the first letter is automatically capitalized. The user can select shift or lock (equivalent to caps lock on a standard keyboard) at any time. If the user makes a mistake, they can select the back arrow to delete the last character entered. Once the user enters their name, they should press the green panel button to continue.
