Xiris Releases New Software for Weld Cameras
Xiris’ latest version of WeldStudioTM software includes powerful new functions to support Xiris Weld Cameras in capturing and process- ing high-quality weld images. The Pre-Recording Buffering feature captures the beginning of a weld easily with a pre-recording buffer that caches up to 10 seconds of
