• Arc Length Visual Cue
• Travel/Work Angles Visual Cue
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 sym-
bolic. When cues are red, they indicate being out of
tolerance. Yellow cues indicate close to tolerance, but
not optimal. Green cues indicate being within toler-
ance and close to optimal.
The
“Cheater” Lens

the user in the helmet and in the welder’s view. The
user can toggle between Off, 1.25X, 1.5X, 1.75X, 2X
select their option with the red select button.

This cue is located on the side of the VR

the graph which will also keep it green.
TRAVEL SPEED VISUAL CUE
The
CTWD
(Contact To Work Distance) cue is only
available for VR GMAW and VR FCAW processes.
This cue uses color and position to indicate proper

on the line of the “H” bar and keep the arrow color
green.
