How to export laser parameters from JobControl
In this tutorial we'll show you how to easily export files from JobControl® and how to save them to an external drive or use them on another workstation. JobControl® files comprise the laser parameters and are stored in XML format. (These can also be re-imported later.)
Important: If you are using Ruby® laser software, please find instructions on rubyhelp.com.
