In previous versions of VTube-LASER, the scanning sound goes silent if the SCAN BUTTON is pressed and no scan data is entering VTube-LASER.

In this version, if the scan button is pressed and all scanned data is removed by the filter, or no data is incoming because the scanner is out of range, then the LASER SCAN FILTER sound will play.

Watch the video on the right to see how this new feature works.

There are two conditions that will trigger the LASER SCAN FILTER sound:

1. All incoming scan data is being removed by one of the filters (Cut Plane or Minimum Point Count Per Laser Line value)
   
   
2. The scanner is out of range of all surfaces.

VTube-LASER operators know that previous versions of VTube-LASER require that you aim the LASER scanner at the part when you press the accept button at the end of a scan.

• For the ROMER scanner, this is one of the two side buttons.
• For the FARO scanner, this is the red button.
  
  
  

We have redesigned the scanning engine so it no longer requires this in-range scanning position.

As of this version, VTube-LASER will watch for and react to the accept button press even if no laser data is incoming.

We added and tested HERBER MES file correction support that allows VTube-LASER to correct HERBER benders through a network connection automatically.

We added the HERBER SOL file protocol that allows VTube-LASER to send NEW data to the HERBER benders through a network connection.

Use this new feature to import solid models into HERBER bender controls.
