When selecting a new material for the first time, you may not be sure what types of settings should be used for that material. For cases like this you will want to try using the Laser Parameter Test found under the Laser Tools page.
What is the Parameter Test?
The Parameters Test will form a graph to test the two parameters chosen at their minimum and maximum, which spaces in between that depend on the grid size. This means that the larger the grid size the easier it is to narrow down your selection. The parameters you can test are: Power, Speed, Frequency, DPI, and Pulse Width. PulseWidth is a Parameter only use in MOPA machines. Enter the Setup page by going to the Machine name, going to Diagnostics and selecting Galvo Calibration. Then select the Parameters tab.
Selecting the Options button will open the Options window. Here you will adjust the grid settings, such as the grid size, square size, and default settings.
