It is also possible to move the tube if you attach the targets securely to the tube, then use the leapfrog feature.  For example, you can use a standard metal spring clamp to attach to the tube, then place the magnetic target on the clamp handle.<br><br>

Leapfrog the Arm Over the Tube

  • As of version 1.91 (June 30, 2014), VTube-LASER can leapfrog the arm over the tube in the middle of any measurement. In order to accurately leapfrog the arm over the tube, it is necessary to pause the regular measurement and measure 3 more more points in space using the ball probe before and after the leap or move. Then, after the leap, the arm measures the same points in the same order.

  • Any number leaps can be combined to measure any distance.

Start a Leapfrog 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

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
