| Software notes | The system relies on its integrated electronics and digital panel to select synergic programs and operating modes, including Power Mode and Pulse-on-Pulse. It requires no external software to operate, running entirely via the onboard hardware controller, which automatically adjusts voltage and current parameters based on the material, wire diameter, and shielding gas used. | — |
