| Software notes | The machine's operating system features advanced synergic control, significantly streamlining the setup of operating parameters. The SYNSTAR 400 TS comes standard with over sixty pre-loaded synergic programs, carefully optimized for various alloys, thicknesses, and wire diameters (iron, aluminum, stainless steel, and flux-cored wire). Users can save their custom settings in the system's memory for quick retrieval during repetitive tasks. The color LCD interface provides a clear and intuitive real-time readout of all welding values. Furthermore, the welder's base software is highly expandable: sophisticated features such as pulsed and double-pulsed welding are available via dedicated software upgrade packages. This modular approach allows the operator to adapt the power source to new and more complex welding requirements over time. | — |
