## Speed & Power Precisions

CO2 Tickle Frequency [Hz]
- The frequency of the laser tickle pulse in hertz

Table Resolution [cnts/in]
- The number of encoder counts per inch of travel for the table
- Must “Home Table” if this value is changed

**Absolute Coordinates** tells Lightburn to output graphics in your laser's work area at a location that matches their position in your Workspace.
<br><br><br><br>
**Current Position** tells LightBurn to output graphics relative to the position of the laser head at the moment you start a job.
<br><br><br><br>
**User Origin** tells LightBurn to output graphics relative to a custom-defined origin that you set before starting a job.

## Job origin

The Job Origin control tells LightBurn how to orient output relative to the laser head.
