position clockwise from top
Explanation:
As the system checks the circumferential welds, it denotes the position of defects by their position measured 'clockwise from top'. E.g. a defect on the right-hand side would be at 'three o'clock', a defect at the bottom 'at six o'clock'. That said, the position is more likely indicated in degrees, not 'hours'.

Explanation:
If it is the opposite of abscisado, my guess would be vertical, straight up and down, like the hands of a clock striking the hour.

It is just a guess though.
