Laser speed difference opening same file in different PCs

I usually edit my works with Lightburn on my main computer (running W11 64bit ver.24H2) and save my files on a shared folder. To burn my project I move to another PC (running W10 64bit ver. 22H2) that is connected to my laser hardware (Atomstack S10 pro) and open the file from the shared folder using the same version of Lightburn (1.4.04). The same file created with same version of Lightburn has the laser speed parameter different in the second PC (as an example a speed of 200 in the first PC, once opened in the second PC became 12000). If I create the file on the second PC and import it in my first one I obtain the opposite (a speed of 200 became 3,3). What is the parameter affecting this strange behavior? I think I have configured the two installations the same way but maybe I forgot something…

Apart from the fact that you have a relatively old LB version, there should be no difference in your two setups. However, you can advantageously copy your settings from (machine and LB) machine 1 to computer 2, then you are sure that your measurement units are the same. In the newer LB versions you can make a bundle of all settings and export/import them, - very practical

Yes, you forgot to change the speed metrics to mm/min on one of the PCs. 200 x 60 = 12,000. Its a simple second to minute conversion :slight_smile:

Thanks Misken, I was sure it was a stupid question and that I was missing something little, but that checkbox was out of my view.
It was a matter of one second. Issue resolved.

The “export prefs” feature is included in my version, and I’m sure I used it to duplicate my installation to the second PC but, maybe, something went wrong (parameter not included in export file? Or I made some mistake after importing prefs…) I don’t know. The parameter involved in the issue was this one:
