| Software notes | The user interface is navigated via a 5-inch color LCD touchscreen, allowing precise control over welding parameters and synergic curves. The system's firmware can be updated using the integrated USB and RS232 ports to access the latest features. It is also predisposed for automation integration through an optional analog interface kit. | — |
