Machine Settings

Default PWM frequency (Hz): Default operating laser frequency.

Lower PWM frequency (Hz): Default pre-heat laser frequency.

Lower PWM power (%): Default pre-heat laser power.

Chiller: Select to only enable laser operation when the water chiller is on.

Motion Card Settings

Laser power mode: Set the power mode of the laser controller.

Limit switch: Specifies if the initial state of the limit switches are open (low; motor is turned off when the switch closes) or closed (high; motor is turned off when the switch opens).

IO-Switch: Initial state of the IO switch is open (low) or closed (high).

Maximum power: Set maximum power (%).

XY-Axis Settings

X-Axis table limit: The size of the table on the x-axis in mm.

X-Axis homing direction: Positive (away from you if standing in front of the machine) or negative (towards you if standing in front of the machine).

Y-Axis table limit: The size of the table on the y-axis in mm.

Y-Axis homing direction: Positive (to the right if standing in front of the machine) or negative (to the left if standing in front of the machine).

Auto homing: Enabling moves the laser head to home position on start up.

Start speed: The speed to which the laser head immediately accelerates in mm/s.

Homing speed: The speed at which the laser head moves to home position.

Acceleration: Acceleration from start speed to operating speed.

Second space acceleration: Negative acceleration from operating speed to stop.

Quick speed: The highest speed of the laser head when the laser is off.

X-Axis offset: The offset of the laser head after it homes all the way to zero (the distance from 0 after homing).

Y-Axis offset: The offset of the laser head after it homes all the way to zero (the distance from 0 after homing).

Manual move start speed: The speed to which the laser head immediately accelerates in mm/s when using arrows to move head.

Frame test speed fast: The test speed of the laser head in mm/s if it has been homed.

Frame test speed slow: The test speed of the laser head in mm/s if it has not been homed.

Z-Axis Settings

Z-Axis stroke: The travel limit on the z-axis in mm.

Z-Axis direction: Positive (up) or negative (down).

Z-Axis start speed: The speed to which the table immediately accelerates in mm/s.

Z-Axis homing speed: The speed at which the table moves to home position.

Z-Axis acceleration: Acceleration of the Z-axis from start speed to operating speed.

Second work acceleration: Negative acceleration from operating speed to stop.

Z-Axis test speed (fast): The test speed of the table in mm/s if it has been homed.

Z-Axis auto focus offset: The offset of the laser head to the material after it engages the auto focus switch (the distance from the switch after homing).
