Speed and power readouts

Is there a way to see what speed/power is being used at a specific spot on an image?

You’re asking a very specific question but I suspect there’s a larger underlying goal in this. It might help to explain what you’re trying to achieve as that will open it up to a broader understanding of your goals and a broader potential solution set.

If you’re doing anything but grayscale, the burn and speed will be nominally what you’ve set for the Cut setting for any non-white area of the image. There’s the possibility that the controller will mitigate power under specific circumstances but may not yet be relevant in this discussion.

For grayscale, this is a bit more complicated. Speed will be nominally the requested speed in Cut setting. However, due to controller processing speed the laser may be physically moving slower than actually intended. Power level is based on a scaled range between the min and max values from the Cut setting on a per dot basis.

If you’d like to understand the specific scaling then read this post:
