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 indicate close to
tolerance, but not optimal. Green cues indicate being within tolerance
and close to optimal. See Figure B.34.
The “Cheater” Lens magnifies the image seen on the monitor. The
user can toggle between Off, 1.25X, 1.5X, 1.75X, 2X select their
