If by laser you mean the actual laser tube, the air assist comes on and off with the laser tube if you set it that way. The status comes on and off at the beginning and end of a job, but does not shut off between layers while the actual laser beam does.

All that works perfectly, but what I want is a LED that indicates whenever the "Laser ON" switch is engaged.
Thank You

Ah, you mean the actual power switch. I picked up a lighted rocker switch and move mine to up by the E-Stop.
