* As of version 1.91 (June 30, 2014), VTube-LASER can leapfrog the arm over the tube in the middle of any measurement.

Leapfrog the Arm Over the Tube

  • When measuring long tubes, it may not be possible to reach the full tube without moving the arm or tube. The steps below show the process of measuring and moving a tube to produce measured data. This process is not as accurate as using Leapfrog but can still be used to measure long tubes.

  • Any number of moves can be combined to measure any distance.

Start a Tube Measurement

Press the Move button in the guide box at any time during a measurement.

The Steps for Leapfrog

Orangecircle number1.png Place at least 3 targets as far from the arm as possible in the direction you want to leap.

Orangecircle number2.png Press the LEAP button in the guide window on the left.

Orangecircle number3.png Measure the targets with the ball probe. Press the green button to measure each target.

Orangecircle number4.png Press the red button to finish the initial measure.

Orangecircle number5.png Without moving the targets or the tube, leap the arm over the targets to a new position.

Orangecircle number6.png Measure the targets with the ball probe. Press the green button to measure each target.

Orangecircle number7.png Press the red button to finish the measure.

Orangecircle number8.png The leap is complete. Continue measuring where you left off before.

Leapfrog Kit - Magnetic or Plate

</td>
This is the magnetic leapfrog kit that we offer on our store. Each magnet has a conical seat attached to a magnet that can be placed anywhere for leapfrogging

These are the leapfrog plates that we offer on our store. The plates have three numbered conical seats or spheres. With the conical seats the ball probe needs to be used and with the spheres, the laser can be used. Vtl-leapfrog plate.png
