I’ll be damned… that little bugger right there is the reason my “Status” sink was never working!
I had seen this screen in an RDWorks video, but they never explained what it did. Apparently Monport in their vendor wisdom, decided to not enable this particular box… the result was no activity on the Status sink. Once I enabled it… EVERYTHING works as expected. There appears to be no equivalent setting in Lightburn.
I have no idea what the other toggles are for (colors, situations, etc…) but with simply “Enabling” this… it works.
Thank you all for your help and direction on this topic.
I can’t believe it was there the whole time.
