Click the LaserTools toolbar and select Material Test

2）Matrix parameter settings

Count: Set the number of matrix rows and columns

Min/Max: Set the matrix parameter range

Other parameters can be set in the [00/01/02] below, where Edit Material Setting is for matrix grid parameter setting, Edit Text Setting is for matrix external text parameter setting, and Edit Border Setting is for engraving frame parameter setting.。

At the bottom, you can control whether to engrave text or a border.
