Interval Test
Sweep scan interval (line spacing) at fixed power/speed. Find the tightest interval that still produces clean fill.
The Interval Test draws filled cells at a range of scan intervals (line spacings). Use it to find the smallest interval that produces a solid fill without wasting time on overlap.
When it opens
Menu: Machine → Quality Tests → Interval Test. Opens inside the Quality Test Shell.

| Speed | mm/min, min 1 | Speed for all cells. |
| Power | %, 0–100 | Power for all cells. |

A material preset picker (top of the dialog) seeds the sweep around a known good interval for that material.
