TOLERANCE EDITOR

OVERVIEW
The tolerance editor allows users to modify the system settings from
the default to fit their curriculum. See Figure 65.
The VRTEX ships with Lincoln "default" welding parameters pre-in-
stalled. New parameters can be created by the instructor to reflect a
specific welding application or technique.
NOTE: Default parameters cannot be modified.
Figure 65 – Tolerances
This tolerance editor affects the file currently being shown in the
"choose tolerance setup" window.
Selecting Create New creates a new file on the unit. The file
starts with the default settings. Selecting this icon takes the user to a
keyboard screen so that a new file name can be entered.
Selecting Rename brings the user to a keyboard screen where the
name of the current file can be changed.
Selecting Copy makes a copy of the file currently being shown on
the choose tolerance setup window. The copy is identified with the
same name plus an incremented number after it.
Selecting Save to USB saves the current file to a USB memory
device, if a USB memory device is inserted in the front of the
machine.
Selecting Customize allows the instructor to adjust various
tolerances to the desired level.
Selecting Delete erases the file currently shown.
CAUTION
Changing the settings in the tolerance editor will
dramatically affect how the system runs, including
scoring, visual cues and discontinuities. Take care in
changing the settings of the tolerance editor as not to
reflect unrealistic welding situations.
CHOOSE TOLERANCE SETUP
Displays the list of all tolerance settings currently stored on the unit.
All units ship with default settings and learning levels. If the user
creates multiple tolerance files, the file in use is selected by using the
red arrow icons. This affects the visual cues, graphs, discontinuities
and score. The current tolerance settings in use are also listed on
this screen.
CHOOSE TOLERANCE TO LOAD
This displays the list of all tolerance sets currently stored on the USB
device. Files can be transferred to and from a VRTEX with a USB
memory device.
Load from USB: Transfers files from USB to VRTEX.
Copy to List: Copies the folder from the chosen tolerance to load
box and saves it to the VRTEX.
