How to export laser parameters from JobControl®
There are a number of reasons you may wish to export files from JobControl®, such as to save them to an external drive or use them on another laser computer. JobControl® files are essentially back ups that include the laser parameters and are saved in XML format. From these backups, the settings can be re-imported later.
Important: If you are using Ruby® laser software, please find instructions on rubyhelp.com.
