Metal Arc (MMA); to include the real feel of having a torch in the trainees hand. This should include augmented
(feel), visual and audio simulation.
b. Able to simulate the initial processes involved in setting up for MIG, TIG and MMA welding including gas
settings.
c. The instrumentation and data logging systems should be capable of keeping long term records and be
capable of comparison of said records.
