Your Gcode looks OK.
From your .xml, you are using Output#1 for your spindle M3 /M5 commands and creating a conflict with the M11P1/M10P1 commands.
Change this to Output#2 in Spindle Setup for both M3 and M4 and also Enable Output#2 (set to an unused output pin) in Output Signals.

Hopefully...

The guy from Opt Lasers just emailed me to say the gcode should be M3 and M5 commands not M11 and M10?

now I'm lost!

according to this Manual

https://optlasersgrav.com/index.php?controller=attachment&id_attachment=56

i am pretty sure you have to connect an other Output to Enable #1 Input (Pin3),
and this Output is the witch Needs to be switched with M10/M11

Thanks, I'll look at this tomorrow as I'm away from the machine now, I'm not entirely sure how to do that but I'll try to work out

the 0-10V part is clear, but imho there should be an Output witch is going to the enable Input from laser Interface.

 

This is where I'm out of my depth! I don't understand how it works, the 2 wires from the CP0-10V go to the Opt laser PLH3D-CNC adaptor into pin 4 & 6, then is it controlled by PWM freq?

and where is the Output witch is switched with M10/M11 wired to?

I'm trying to attach the CP0-10v but the file is too big, hopefully this link will work,

Ok, so I don't think I have any spare output pins, should I use the pin 17 as was set in output 1?

This is a simple file and I think I can see your post processor has worked ok.

Would I have to setup a special tool in quick engrave for the laser to work correctly?

thanks
