STEP 01 / 06

Confirm the setup before testing

Set material, machine, optic and intended resolution. Open Studios → Calibration or enter through Load + Open Calibration Lab in Donor Library. Calibration belongs to the physical conditions of the run. A different lens, material finish or resolution can require a new proof.

Checkpoint: The test represents the final material and hardware.

STEP 03 / 06

Select and return the winner

Compare the burned samples under consistent lighting, select the winning candidate and use the lab’s finalize/save or return-to-processing action for that build. Check the recipe in Laser Processing afterward. Process the image and reopen Intelligence to verify whether physical calibration was applied; read the status and reason.

Checkpoint: The selected calibration is reflected in the current processing path, or the report clearly explains why it is not.

STEP 04 / 06

Create and preserve the test version

Apply the production recipe to the job. The current build saves linked processing trials with the donor baseline and final edits. Open Linked Burn Trials from the Recipe Studio. Export the exact version you will run and keep its filename connected to the trial number.

Checkpoint: The trial list contains the version you are about to test.

STEP 05 / 06

Record the real outcome on the correct trial

In Linked Burn Trials select the version you physically burned and use its record-result action. Enter Actual speed (mm/s), Actual power (%) and Actual passes, then choose the observed outcome. Use the same units as the form. Confirm physical feedback only after running the sample.

Checkpoint: The result belongs to the correct trial rather than whichever preview happens to be open.
