No connection

Can someone help me understand why I can not connect to RDWorks? I installed version 8.01.47. Using the same cable and usb port I am able to communicate with the laser using Lightburn and Metalcut. My control board UI is labeled RDC6332M. Lightburn software shows the controller as 644XG, so I am not sure what the board actually is because the laser manufacture removed the label.
My ultimate goal is to gather the manufacture perimeters, so if I can do that in another way please let me know. Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.

He means the Vendor Settings (manufacturer parameters).
I've never used LB; does it use its own USB driver?
Have you tried installing the USB driver that comes w/ RDWorks? RDWorks may depend on a specific driver in order for it to see the laser.

In LightBurn you can go to Edit > Machine Settings to edit the vendor parameters. Is there a specific setting you're looking for?
