as you can find in detail here (Release Notes for Venus and Nimbus96 - #3 by WillEb) VENUS is just an acronym for VEctor New USer Software. So it seems you are looking for an indeed outdated software…
by the way, you’ll find lab automation enthusiasts in your region organized in the Tübingen Lab Automation Community and the Freiburg Lab Automation Community, just via linkedIN. Also the Munich Lab Automation Community is not that far. In total there are more than 700 lab automation enthusiasts connected in these chapters, maybe you can find some help in this network, too.
cheers
