AWC708C Plus Controller - I cannot choose Absolute Coordinates

Correct. The choice you are given is ‘Controller Setting’, meaning LightBurn will use what you set in your controller through the HMI panel. The Trocen AWC708C has no ability to set these options from software - you have to do it from a menu on the controller itself.

Edit: Here is a good explanation directly from Oz.

User Origin and Trocen...issues

They work, but you have to change the mode on the controller itself, not within LightBurn. You leave LightBurn in “User Origin” mode. On the controller, press Menu, then choose Common Parameters Settings, then Work Mode, then Origin Mode. Once you’ve changed the origin mode on the controller itself, it will work. Another option is to manually set the user origin to match the machine origin, then you can use Absolute Coords mode in LightBurn without having to set it on the controller.
