information. The only difference is in controlling of the Virtual unit, which is controlled by mouse and keyboard.

records (See A4400 manual to get info about acquisition and processing of records). A4410_VirtualUnit

from A4400 VA4Pro unit (see A4410 - Virtual unit and A4400 VA4Pro connection chapter below).
