Virtual Welding is undergoing constant development and new processes and functions are
being added all the time. It therefore makes sense to update the Virtual Welding system
with the latest software from time to time. The latest software is available from the Down-
loadCenter or can be obtained from your Fronius Partner.
The software varies according to the production number of the Virtual Welding system. En-
sure that you install the correct software version. The production number can be seen on
the rating plate of the Virtual Welding system ("Prod. No." - the position of the rating plate
is shown in the section "Warning notices on the device" in the chapter "General"):
