Template Designer (Old Software)

note

This section describes an older version of the Template Designer. Tessonics recommends using newer version of the designer software for managing RSWA data.

The Template Designer Application is used for storing factory information into a database for RSWA operation. This enables your RSWA to use more advanced inspection types that help guide an inspector, keep track of all measurement data, and enable advanced data reporting for administrators.

Here are some terms that are used frequently throughout this section:

  • Part: A single real-life object that is manufactured with spot-welds.
  • Part Group: A collection of parts.
  • Default Group: The “Default” part group that always exists and cannot be modified by the user. If it is the only group that exists, the group selector is not shown on an RSWA unit. If it is empty, it is hidden from view and not used.
  • Image: A small picture showing a part and the welds that are on it. Each part can have many images (see Image Editor).
  • Weld: A spot-weld on a part. Each weld contains a number of properties for that spot-weld (see Weld List).
  • Weld Marker: The small label and circle on an image that indicates where a particular weld is on a part or model.
  • Reason: A short explanation as to why a weld was passed or failed (see Reason Manager).
  • Inspection Order: A numbered list of welds that defines the welds and order in which they are inspected (see Inspection Order Manager).
