Compare v2/3/4
SERVOsoft® v4 adds many powerful new features including KOCH Energy Storage Modules, Ball Screw database, Two Servo Pumps, Variable Displacement Pumps, Quick Import Sequence, and Utilization bars throughout the entire program and print report. The Optimizer PRO has taken another big leap forward with Curve Fitting and Master-Follower. Almost every existing feature in v3 has been improved, from the ability to configure database views, new mechanisms, and up to 3.5x faster performance. Quite simply, v4 is better in every way!
