====Better Adjustment Calculation Handling====
+
−
 
+
−
* Previous versions would always recalculate the LRA adjustment values when loading the Bender Setup menu.  This was problem because the LRA adjustment values could never be manually adjusted or cleared by the user.  Now the adjustment values are calculated only when a new measured tube is created.<br><br>
+
−
* The adjustment values in the Bender Setup screen are now stored in the project files.  This means that the values will be retained between sessions.  You can clear the adjustments, and they will stay zeroed until a new measured tube is created.
+
  
 +
This includes the time of the most recent recall from the bender, the time of the most recent send to the bender, and the time of the most recent adjustment data calculation.

====New "Copy Master Part Setup Values" Button====
+
−
 
+
−
This button allows you to update just the part setup values in Bender Setup without changing the LRA bender data.

This date/time data is stored with the project file.  Each project will have different communications times.  The date/times are loaded with the project files.<br><br>

VTube shows "[Waiting for first RECALL]" or "[Waiting for first SEND]" before communications occurs the first time for a project.<br><br>

Revision 1.82.1

Vtube-laser 1.81.4.jpg





Check.jpg NEW: Improved Menus on Right Side with Adjustable Font Sizes in Grids

The right menu is completely redesigned to allow for resizing with different font sizes. The buttons are now grid-based - which allows them to redize quickly based on the font sizes.

The font sizes can be adjusted in the System Option/User Interface menu:

Check.jpg NEW: Event Times in Bender Setup

Bender Setup now shows the most recent event times for the project in memory.

This includes the time of the most recent recall from the bender, the time of the most recent send to the bender, and the time of the most recent adjustment data calculation.

Vtube-1.83 benderdata datetime communication closeup.jpg

This date/time data is stored with the project file. Each project will have different communications times. The date/times are loaded with the project files.

VTube shows "[Waiting for first RECALL]" or "[Waiting for first SEND]" before communications occurs the first time for a project.
