| Software notes | The power source is equipped with an advanced digital control panel featuring an integrated color display, which hosts proprietary software specifically designed to guide the operator step-by-step through the machine's configuration. Although it is not possible to interface with external software programs via a computer, the internal operating system offers highly intuitive menus and sophisticated synergic controls. These tools automatically adjust the optimal voltage and wire feed speed parameters based on the inputted material thickness and the selected shielding gas type. No updates via cloud connection are required, thereby guaranteeing the full and continuous operability of the welder even in completely isolated work environments or remote construction sites. | — |
