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.

The user enters their name by using the joystick and
red select button on the VR weld machine. The joy-
stick allows the user to navigate the keyboard graphic
to highlight letters. 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
