Revision 1.6

Back to VTube-LASER

In the context of VTube-LASER, an "outlier" is a point that falls outside the normal space for the other points scanned or collected. The end scan procedures in VTube-LASER are now enhanced to include outlier point detection.

This is critical for situations where points may be detected that are too far from the diameter to be considered actual useful points in end-scans.

The image on the right shows an outlier point (enclosed in the red lines at the top) that are not part of the diameter. These points were formed from a highly reflective point on the inside of the diameter (in this example). The outlier point must be ignored to give an accurate end-trim value.

Using ball probe measurements on the end scans and and laser measurements in the cylinder straights now offsets the ball radius point properly in every case.

In previous versions, the part name was used as the filename only if the previous filename was empty.

In previous versions, the linear units radio buttons were not reliable in setting the proper state.

Plus they were too small to easily press.

This version removes these radio buttons and uses an large button with either an M or an I that toggles the state.

New Interface:

In previous versions, VTube required the operator to enter Measure Setup at least one time when coming into Laser Mode in order to setup the Laser active mode.

• The report window now requires an operator to close the window before using any other part of VTube.

• The print preview window buttons are re-arranged so that they are larger and easier to press. The Print button is moved to the right side of the window.

• If VTube changes from cylinder fit to centerline projection mode during a measurement, VTube will now always consider the measure a cylinder fit failure.

• See VTube-STEP v1.59 for changes to the STEP mode in this version.

• No known issues
