Two tube laser people out there?

[Gene Uselman]

I have posted this to Lightburn forum but I don't believe that the Oz and peeps have access to a two tube laser so not sure if they will be able to help me as much as they normally are able to. So here goes- if anyone has any thoughts I would be grateful, I seem to have Covid Brain Syndrome and I am really struggling with setting up this new gigantic machine, I expected it to be fun? I am not having as much fun as I could be I am afraid.

I am working to get up to speed with a two tube machine [new and new to me]. The controller is a Ruida 6344 which is also new to me- it is a touch screen and has up/down, right/left push buttons and also a laser pulse button which work as expected. There are Laser 1 & 2 buttons to enable the two power supplies on the machine control panel [not the controller].
I have the latest LB connected by USB [ have not been able to establish ethernet connection at this point] and the program does what I expect, pretty much. There is a Laser 2 and Laser 1 radio button on the layer/cut screen and also an enable button, they also exist when the layer is opened by double clicking [cut setting editor]. They do not seem to be co-ordinated [when one is set the other does not seem to be affected]. I am old and confused- is there a reason for this that I do not see yet? I also can set the Ruida controller for max safe current and see it on the appropriate meter, but I cannot get even 50% of the current when running thru LB [or RDworks] so I suspect a mismatch some where. I have checked the various settings and all seem to be appropriate. I have a lot of time in on RDworks and am transitioning to LB [pretty successfully I thought?] so I am acquainted with most of the RD settings and have found them in LB I believe. I am sure you will have questions but I can think of nothing else right now. Thanks Gene

Fortunately this is not a high priority project at this time- I have my old machine for 3 more weeks [or until I can/will give it up].
