That is correct pins IN and G will control laser power related to the duty cycle of the PWM signal.

Pins TL and G are the pins that would be used to switch the laser on / off (at the power level set by the PWM once M3 has been called) using the Digital Trigger from Mach3.

which pin should be allocated to Digital Trig ?

My diagram shows typical Mach3 connection to a laser power supply.

If you are not certain of your particular connections you should seek the advice of a laser engineer in your area.

my laser power supply is different from the diagram that you have sent me. my power supply consists of 6 pins that i should connect them to wires , one is 5V,TH,TL,WP,G,IN . at the moment i have connected pins IN and G to output inverter spindle .

Does this diagram help ?

Is laser's active low trigger input the same TTL input related to the power supply of laser?? Shall I connect the output of the pin allocated to the Digit Trig to TTL input of power supply laser??!

The plugin was writen to use the digital trigger .this is the only way to engrave.You can cut and burn with output and pwm.But not engrave.

Hi there,
How should I use digital trigger? which pin should be allocated to digital trigger???!!

The laser On / OFF control is on whichever Port and Pin number you allocate to the Digit Trig (Config / Ports & Pins / Output Signals).

Thanks for your relpy.i don't use Digit Trig. it is not enabled. I use port number 1 and Pin number 9 analog signal PWM 0-10 V ADJ spindle motor for controlling the power of laser and turning it on and off.
what do you mean exactly by Digit Trig? I want to engrave like the CNC laser of the following link

Hi there,
I have a laser machine that I've made it myself . I use match3 for controlling my CNC laser machine and I don' have any problem for cutting, but the only problem I've got is that I cannot engrave with high speed. for example if i wanted to engrave one photo, it would take hours to complete! I had been searching and watching some videos on YouTube to understand how to engrave with high speed and noticed some videos that were engraving with really high speed by using the same Match 3 software. I installed the plugin impact/laser Engraving v1.2b on match 3 and when I run this plugin and give the photo for engraving, the machine starts to move by  x axial and y axial. My problem is that the signal that should be sent to laser co2 for on and off ,from which pin or axial is getting out?
I control my laser with PWM spindle signal.

Thanks in advance for your reply
