Can't engrave on Glass UV Laser

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility Galvo
1

I have a Galvo UV laser supplied by AM,co.za with EZCad software. I can engrave on glass perfectly with this package. Lens 110mm by 110mm Q pulse 1ns Freq 30Khz and speed 400mm/s and the focus set correctly.
With Light burn I can mark/engrave on all materials even using the matreial test except on glass.Lightburn sends command to machine and turns laser on but no marking or engraving is achieved on glass.Same settings 1ns 30Khz and speed 400mm/s. Focus was left as same position for EZcad software. Ezcad has a setting for current of 1 - 10 which is the only difference I can find. Any suggestions please.

Upon creating the device profile for your UV laser in LightBurn, did you import your laser manufacturer’s settings as described in our documentation?

Hi Jeff I have tried all the settings and even the material test. Under device setiings if I select SPI laser the laser then engraves but no Q pulse setting.

Thanks for confirming you imported your laser manufacturer’s settings.

In Device Settings>Ports and Lasers Settings What is your Fiber/Laser type set to?
