VTube-LASER can add damping correction data in order to avoid over-steer in bender correction by reducing the total correction sent to the bender - typically by 50% of the correction.

====When to Use Damping====
+
−
Two adjacent 90 degree bends that are close to each other followed by a long straight causes VTube (and other measuring solutions) to overcorrect the end of the long straight. The end is supposed be corrected to the middle straight (the MASTER) like this:

But what this tube configuration may cause is a wag-the-tail oscillation in the correction loop like this:

The result is a correction that causes the leg to overshoot the target.

+
−
====Two Kinds of Damping====
+
−
VTube has two kinds of automatic damping.  The first one reduces the correction by 50% in any of three sets of bender axis data (the Length, Rotation, and Bend).  It allows for this damping in each axis independently – so they can choose the appropriate axis to damp.  The second kind of damping is based on the previous adjustment values.  Using the previous value causes the correction to be reduced even faster if this kind of oscillation exists.

====When NOT to Use Damping====
+
====STEP 2 - Click on the General Config Tab====
−
Damping is not helpful if your tube does not have the characteristic shape shown above.  If the tube you are measuring does not have short straights that are basically "jogs" or offsets in longer sections of tubes, then you should turn damping off by unchecking the damping check boxes and/or ignoring all damping report data.
+
 
<br><br>
 
<br><br>
−
Also, do not rely on damping corrections in reports if the blue columns in the bender data setup menu are set to zeros (not actual bender data).  The best time to use damping is when short jogs exist, and there is a connection the bender so that you can reset the blue columns to existing (actual) bender data first.

STEP 2 - Click on the General Config Tab



Click on the "Explore the VTube-LASER Config Folder" button.

STEP 3 - Browse into the Report Folder

The Report folder contains html files that are report templates that can be modified.

If you are creating your own template, then we recommend that you load one of the templates into a text editor, make the changes, then save it to a new html file for importing into VTube.

Keep in mind that the filename of the html template will be the template name in the report template list. You can use regular names with spaces like "This Is My Report.html". The template name will then show as "This Is My Report" after it is imported.
