System and method of reviewing weld data
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving welding data corresponding to a welding session completed with a welding system,wherein the welding data comprises welding parameters and quality characteristics corresponding to a plurality of points along a path of the welding session,the welding parameters comprising one or more of a work angle of a welding torch, a travel angle of the welding torch, a contact tip to work distance, a travel speed of the welding torch along the path of the welding session, or an aim of the welding torch, and the quality characteristics comprising one or more of porosity, undercut, spatter, underfill, or overfill;
receiving a selected location from an operator, wherein the selected location corresponds to a point of the plurality of points along the path of the welding session; and
displaying, on a display screen, one or more of the quality characteristics of the welding session corresponding to the selected location.

Abstract
A method includes receiving welding data corresponding to a welding session completed with a welding system, receiving a selected location from an operator, and displaying on a display one or more quality characteristics of the welding session corresponding to the selected location. The welding data includes welding parameters and quality characteristics corresponding to a plurality of points along a path of the welding session. The welding parameters include a work angle of a welding torch, a travel angle of the welding torch, a contact tip to work distance, a travel speed of the welding torch along the path of the welding session, an aim of the welding torch, or any combination thereof. The quality characteristics include porosity, undercut, spatter, underfill, overfill, or any combination thereof. The selected location corresponds to a point of the plurality of points along the path of the welding session.

12. A method comprising:
-
receiving an operator input of a unique identifier of a welding session; receiving welding data of the welding session from a data storage system based on the operator input of the unique identifier, wherein the data storage system comprises non-transitory computer readable media, and the welding data comprises a set of welding parameters corresponding to the welding session, wherein the welding parameters comprise one or more of a work angle of a welding torch, a travel angle of the welding torch, a contact tip to work distance, a travel speed of the welding torch, or an aim of the welding torch; displaying, via a processor communicatively coupled to the data storage system, an operator viewable dashboard page with the welding parameters corresponding to the welding session; receiving a selected location from an operator via the operator viewable dashboard page, wherein the selected location corresponds to a point of the plurality of points along the path of the welding session; and displaying, on the operator viewable dashboard page, one or more of the quality characteristics of the welding session corresponding to the selected location. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A welding system comprising:
-
a pointing device configured to be directed at a point of a weld formed on a workpiece; a sensing device configured to sense a position and an orientation of the pointing device relative to the workpiece; a display screen; a memory comprising processor-executable instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor-executable instructions comprise instructions to; determine the point of the weld at which the pointing device is directed; and display, on the display screen, quality characteristics of a welding session for the weld that corresponds to the point, wherein the quality characteristics comprise one or more of porosity, undercut, spatter, underfill, overfill. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
