Hello you all, how are you?
Pretty new to laser cutting but familiar with waterjet-cutting and gcode.
Cutting speeds are a hot topic resulting in many question especially from newby’s.

Here is what I was thinking;
Does Lightburn know what the actual cutting speeds are or where by reading the gcode?
The gcode should contain the actual speeds for a particular machine is it not?
Feature Request: At the side of the preview window display the gcode speeds (maybe some filter options as well) so when you move the slider and see the crosshair move you can also see the gcode speeds at that point!

This to better understand what the cutting speeds are doing.
how does this sound ?

best regards

Edit → Device Settings → Additional Settings → Read from controller to ensure your machine settings have the controllers configuration. Before the read, look at them and see if they change after a read.
If this data isn’t accurate the results will reflect the difference.
If the machine is performing correctly the preview time should be close to the actual time.
Good luck
