Use the arrow keys to set the desired welding speed

The welding speed corresponds to the welding torch rate which the trainee must adhere to
in the longitudinal direction. The resulting welding time appears in the field underneath.

Choose "Next" to save the welding speed and go to the dialogue box for starting ref-
erence welding

Ghost: Executing
reference welding

NOTE!

A Ghost can be recorded using the VR glasses.

Position the welding torch at the start of the weld seam
