| Software notes | The system is based on a proprietary interface featuring a built-in 5-inch TFT screen. The firmware manages preset synergic programs (up to 27 lines) for various combinations of wire, gas, and thicknesses, facilitating the setup of welding parameters via a single knob control. It includes a memory function to save and recall up to 10 customized jobs. There is no wireless connectivity or external cloud interaction, nor does it support PC or smartphone software. All functionalities remain strictly manageable from the control panel of the welder. | As a manual transformer-based MIG/MAG welder, it lacks digital displays, software interfaces, or synergic controls. Parameter adjustment is done via two simple analog selectors on the front panel: one for voltage (stepped adjustment) and one for wire feed speed. No application or cloud connection is required for operation. |
