The AUTOMATIC LASER SEPARATION method allows VTube-LASER to automatically control the separation distance between laser stripes based on the known MASTER tube length.

This allows VTube-LASER to lay stripes closer on shorter straights to collect more data - while making VTube spread out stripes on longer sections - automatically.

This method ensures even distribution of stripes for all lengths in the same tube without changing the laser separation distance on the fly.

• This mode only works with parts that have MASTER data.
  
  
• The FACTOR value is multiplied against the current MASTER length to get a new separation distance. The valid ranges are 0 to 0.5. If you use 0.5, then VTube-LASER will attempt to lay two stripes per straight. A recommended starting value is 0.025 (40 stripes per straight).
  
  
• If a part does not have MASTER data (like in Reverse Engineering), then the regular UniScan Cylinder Separation Distance value is used.
  
  
• If the separation distance is ever less than 0.004" (100 microns), then the value reverts to 100 microns.
  
  
• If the MASTER length is less than or equal to ZERO, then the separation value reverts to the regular UniScan Cylinder Separation Distance value.
