Furthermore, the Standard Edition also includes alignment, combine and repeat functions, language selection, special hatch line sorting functions and the control of all hardware components and calibration tools.

In addition to these four editions, a license is available for a function that lets customers create laser jobs offline and without build-in RTC board, i.e. independently of the laser processing system:

• The Office Function is conceived exclusively for creating laser jobs. It provides neither hardware control nor capability to execute laser jobs. The Office Function contains all functionality of the above four editions required for job creation. To execute jobs created with the Office Function, you'll also need a Basic, Standard or Premium Edition.

The laserDESK software package supports all four editions. The USB dongle's configuration determines which laserDESK functionality is accessible.

In some cases, updates and/or upgrades may be needed.
