2.5 UPGRADE FIRMWARE

An ArcScope application is provided with Wave Designer Pro. In order to run the ArcScope application, it may be necessary to upgrade the welding machine firmware. If the old firmware does not support ArcScope, the ArcScope application will display garbled data rather than waveforms. Wave Designer will automatically detect the firmware version and prompt you to upgrade the firmware if required.
