• “Scan speed [mm/s]” (LP-RF, LP-RV):
The parameter is available for processing applications.
Specify the speed at which the laser beam moves while processing. Use the slider to
adjust the speed. A high speed decreases the energy and shortens the processing time.
A low speed increases the energy and the processing time.
• “Guide laser ON”:
Select “Guide laser ON” to start radiating the guide laser.
Select “Guide laser OFF” to stop the radiation of the guide laser.
• “Start marking”:
Select “Start marking” to trigger the laser radiation. Perform the test marking process to
check the marking quality with the specified smart settings.
• “Estimated marking time” / “Estimated processing time”:
Displays the calculated time based on the input data that the marking or processing is
expected to take. To obtain a more precise result, perform marking time measurement.
• Select “Apply” to transfer the specified settings to the following parameters in the file:
‒ “Laser settings” > “Laser power”
‒ “Laser settings” > “Scan speed”
‒ “Laser settings” > “Laser frequency [kHz]” (LP-GS)
‒ “Laser settings” > “Pulse cycle [μs]” (LP-RF, LP-RV)
‒ “Laser settings” > “Pulse duration [ns]” (LP-RV)
‒ For processing applications: “Object group” > “Number of overwritings” (LP-RF, LP-
RV)
• To close the dialog, select “Close”.
