Updating the display of the processing time in JobControl®

Display of the processing time per machining process
The machining processes, such as cutting or engraving, are displayed in different colors in JobControl®. A processing time is calculated for each of these processes.
The calculation of this processing time is based on the laser parameters entered:
- Speed
- Passes
If these are changed in the material database, the processing time must also be recalculated in order to be displayed correctly.

Recalculating the processing time
Double-click on the processing plate to access the material database.
There you can change the laser parameters.
Now you have to recalculate the processing time:
- Click on the current job on the plate.
- Click on the “Refresh” button (bottom left).
The processing time is recalculated.
