VTube-LASER has an export option for NUMALLIANCE MES files that are used to correct the NUMALLIANCE benders.<br><br>
Note: NUMALLIANCE benders only require the ''measured'' data for corrections.<br><br>
Measure the tube in VTube-LASER, then send the MEASURED tube data to the bender control, and it will then perform the correction.
<br><br>
Follow the steps below.

<tr valign=top>

<td width=300>
Set the bender number.  It should say NUMALLIANCE like shown here.
<br><br>
If the data in the window is not correct, then import the data from the main VTube-LASER memory by clicking on "Setup this Window" then clicking on "Copy Master LRA to Setup LRA".
<br><br>
In the "Correct the Bender" menu, click on Auto Send.
<br><br>
A save file dialog will open and allow you to name the MES file on a thumb drive or on the network.  This file will be imported into the NUMALLIANCE control.
