I have converted my Moshi machine to the Lightobject DSP and am more than pleased with the performance of my machine now. I have question that I can not answer from the manual. How do the power settings work? When setting up the machine, under manufacturer setting, it asks you for the "MAX_POWER". Is this meant to be the actual ma limit of the laser tube, or the actual percentage of the actual power that you want to limit the output to? In realation to this, when I define a power for a particular color when cutting or engraving, am I stating a percentage of the total power or the actual milliamps that I want to use? I ask these questions because when cutting, I put '23' in the power setting and the miliammeter says about 8 ma when it is running. I would just like to be able to figure out what power will be used, before I hit the 'start' key.

Hi milt
the power setting in the manufacturer settings is the max power it should be 98%.
dont try to figure out a percentage because that dpends on many facts like speed, material, what you wana do because there is a differenc between engraving and cutting, the power setting on the color is allways percentage but diferent each time when you change the speed.
I allways use a left over of the material to make a test run.
greetings
