SCORING MODULES

After welding a pass, the user can now see whether each defect/
discontinuity was within acceptable standards (passed) or not (failed).
The acceptable standards implemented in VRTEX are known as
scoring modules. Instructors can enable the scoring module they
would like to use (i.e., AWS D1.1 or ASME). The pass/fail marks will
appear on the LASER screen for relevant passes (scoring modules do
not cover all of the available VRTEX welds).
The SCORING MODULE feature can be used when the user wishes
to have their welding evaluated against the ASME or AWS D1.1
standards. Select the SCORING MODULES icon and use the red
arrows to toggle between scoring based on ASME standards, D1.1
standards, and None.
