New Spark owner

I recently bought a Spark. When I am setting up manual settings, the speed shows up to 200, and the power only shows .1-10. even when I type something like 50 it will change back to the previous setting even after it has been saved. Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on becoming a laser operator.

It is important that you understand the interaction of speed/power/lpi to avoid wasting material or operating the laser in an unsafe way. I urge you to work through the tutorials so you get a little experience with the interface and your machine.

The manual settings you assign should be very similar to Proofgrade settings. The maximum power setting is 10. There is no power setting higher than that no matter what you type. The maximum speed is 200. I am not certain why you think 50 would be a good power setting - where did you get that number?

That’s correct for Spark and Aura, if you’re referencing larger GF settings they’re for the larger machines that use a different scale.
