I have a new Monport 50W fiber laser and cannot get it setup with Lightburn. I followed the horrible provided directions from the laser manufacturer but when I go to import the markcfg7 file it will not take it. It will allow me to select the markcfg0 and the markcfg6 and they register but do not work. when I select the markcfg7 like I see everyone suggesting it says no compatible laser found and in Lightburn it just says disconnected and will not work. I am sure I am missing something simple, but hopeing someone here can steer me in the right direction so I can get this working. Has anyone had this happen or know what is happening ?
The laser USB did not come with EZCAD on it, I had to download it. There was no install just unzipped the folder and then went to the log folder and selected the markcfg7 file from there. Is there something different I need to do?
Please share a link to any instructions you are following for our reference.
Your laser should be detected as JCZFiber (for EZCAD2 devices) or BSLFiber (for SeaCAD devices) in the step before you import the marcfg7 file. Which one are you selecting?
The instructions say to do manual setup and not the automatic detection. The manual states to selet the JCZFiber and then import the markcfg7 file. I can select the file, but it does not allow me to click next after because it says no laser detected.
Are you referring to your laser manufacturer’s instructions or ours when you say manual? If you are following instructions elsewhere, please post a link.
“I followed the horrible provided directions from the laser manufacturer”
Can you navigate to your device manager to see how your laser is being recognized when it’s connected to your computer and powered on?
I mentioned it in the part you quoted from me - I am following the directions from the laser manufacturer (Monport). It has directions for installing and using with Lightburn. Their directions have step by step but I cannot get past the part where I am supposed to import the markcfg7 file. It simply will not let me do it. I can select it, but it says no laser found, and I cannot click next. If I select the markcfg0 or markcfg6 it shows the laser, and allows me to click next, but then the laser shows disconnected and does not work.
My USB did not have a markcfg7 file. Everything including the manual says it comes from EZCAD folder. I downloaded EZCAD and used the one in the folder that was in the download.
