TOLERANCES: PATTERN AND AIM SCREEN
This screen allows the user to change the type of pattern being used
(stringer, box weave, straight weave, whip, triangle weave) and the
position of the root of the weld. See Figure B.19. The X and Y values
change the location of where the weld bead should be placed. See
Figure B.20. This affects the position parameter on the Live Action
Student Evaluation Report (LASER) screen. The +/- determines how
far off from the ideal position the student can place the electrode
before it results in a misplaced weld.
