Each parameter can be toggled on or off of the graph by highlighting the parameter with the joystick and pressing
the red select button. Whipping and weaving parameters are graphed when the user uses these welding tech-
niques. The following technique parameters are used in the following situations:
Position is the userʼs ideal weld root location. This location can change with each pass. When weaving, the ideal
location is considered the centerline of the weave.
Contact tip to work distance (CTWD) (for VR GMAW and VR FCAW) and arc length (for VR SMAW) are the dis-
tances from the tip of the VR GMAW/FCAW gun or VR SMAW device to a plane going through the ideal position
location.
