Systems and methods for tracking weld training arc parameters
First Claim
1. A welding system comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to detect data relating to one or more arc parameters for the welding system during a weld performed by the welding system; and
control circuitry configured to;
receive the data corresponding to the one or more arc parameters from the one or more sensors, wherein the one or more arc parameters comprise voltage, amperage, wire feed speed, or a combination thereof;
time synchronize the data corresponding to the one or more arc parameters with data relating to one or more welding parameters over a time period for the weld;
present the data corresponding to the one or more arc parameters graphically over the time period via a user-viewable screen during the weld; and
present the data corresponding to the one or more welding parameters graphically over the time period via the user-viewable screen during the weld;
wherein the control circuitry is configured to calculate a score for the one or more arc parameters, and to present the respective score via the user-viewable screen aligned with a respective graph of data relating to the respective parameter.

Abstract
A welding system includes one or more sensors configured to detect data relating to one or more arc parameters for the welding system during a weld performed by the welding system. The welding system also includes control circuitry configured to receive the data corresponding to the one or more arc parameters from the one or more sensors, time synchronize the data corresponding to the one or more arc parameters with data relating to one or more welding parameters over a time period for the weld, present the data corresponding to the one or more arc parameters graphically over the time period via a user-viewable screen during the weld, and present the data corresponding to the one or more welding parameters graphically over the time period via the user-viewable screen during the weld.
