Revision 2.8.3Original Release Date: June 12, 2017
|
|
Build 89 - ENHANCED: NEW SCANNER CONTROL BUTTON
|
To make entering the FARO LLP Control window easier, we added a button called "Scanner Control" above the viewport. |
|
Build 89 - ENHANCED: DRO DISPLAY MOVED SLIGHTLY LEFT
|
We observed users clicking on the arm connection LED, then dragging the DRO slightly left off of the LED after connection was made. |
|
Build 88 - FIXED: REPORT WINDOW DISPLAY
|
The Report Window did not always display on top of the main VTube windows in build 87. |
|
NEW: INCREASE LRA ROW COUNT in BENDER SETUP for EXTRA OPERATIONS LIKE END TRIM
|
The LRA ROW COUNT in Bender Setup can now be increased in order to allow for extra operations at the end of the bender cycle. |
|
NEW: MULTISCREEN SUPPORT
|
In previous versions, VTube could only be run from the main screen without issues. |
|
NEW: VTube-LASER WINDOW NOW MINIMIZES TO TASKBAR
|
In previous versions, the VTube-LASER window could only be minimized as a reduced window in the lower left corner of the screen. |
|
FIX: IMPORTED MODEL DELETION ISSUE RESOLVED
|
VTube would randomly delete the imported model after a parametric data build. This has been fixed. |
|
ENHANCED: MOVED BENDER SETUP CORRECTION DAMPING TO TAB MENU
|
We moved the CORRECTION DAMPING feature in BENDER SETUP into its own tab menu to save screen space. |
|
NEW: Addata ZModem Communications Protocol
|
We've added an Addata ZModem communications protocol also known as the Addison "Non-Standard Device Interface". |
|
|
This protocol allows you to setup the COM port configuration to match the configuration at the other end of the serial port connection. Set the protocol to Addata ZModem, then click on the COM port cell to display this COM port configuration dialog.
See VTube-LASER Addata ZModem Communications Protocol for more information. |
|
ENHANCED: NUMALLIANCE BENDER OUTPUT HANDLES 180-DEGREE BENDS
OUTPUTS 180-DEGREE BENDS
OUTPUTS SPRINGBACK-COMPENSATED DATA
|
|
ENHANCED: SUPRAVISION IMPORT HANDLES DATA WITH NO CENTERLINE XYZ POINTS
|
VTube requires XYZ coordinates for the parametric tube data. |
|
ENHANCED: DOCS IMPORT SETS THE PART NUMBER to the INCOMING FILENAME
|
Previous versions of VTube would use the actual DOCS part number of "Part 1", "Part 2", etc., in the VTube Part Number. |
