Software notes The machine's operating system features 28 pre-loaded synergic curves to manage various wire diameters (ranging from 0.6 to 1.2 mm) and materials. A front-facing LCD panel allows the operator to simultaneously monitor and adjust wire type, shielding gas, material thickness, voltage, and wire feed speed in real time. The software capabilities can be expanded by purchasing dedicated upgrades, such as the activation of the Pulsed MIG process (Art. 238) or double current level, which add over 30 specialized programs for working on thin metal sheets or light alloys.
