As of version 3.0 build 456, we've embedded the Transfluid SVNET protocol in VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER.<br><br>
+
You can set this protocol in the Benderlink setup grid in System Options.<br><br>

<tr valign=top>

<td width=300>
+
Enter the set up data in the Import box.<br><br>
+
 
+
*Pulldown box: Romer/HEXAGON (.$$$)
+
*Radio Button: Import corrected LRA (clra)
+
*Checkbox: Enable Supra Vision (SV) communications
+
*Exchange Director: Program a shared network path (consult your IT department for this setting)
+
*Bender Number: Each bender number should have a unique number in the Supravision protocol.
+
*Timeout: 10 seconds is high enough.  (The tProject is very quick for communications.  Lower timeouts may be ok too.)

=== Notes about the Configuration Settings===
+
* Bender Number: The Supravision network protocol requires that every bend have a unique number if the benders are sharing the same network path for communications.<br><br>
+
* Paths: These are the paths used for VTube-LASER to communicate with the tProject software.<br><br>
+
* Timeouts: These are timeouts that allow the tProject to know when it has waited too long for data to move in either direction.<br><br>

=Using the OMCG Easy Programming 4 Measuring System Interface=
+
<table width=1000>
+
<tr valign=top>
+
<td width=300>
+
Click on the Measuring System button in the toolbar to load the Measure System Interface.<br><br>
+
The window allows you to handle both CORRECTIONS and NOMINAL data.
+
 
+
===NOMINAL EXPORT===
+
* The NOMINAL EXPORT section allows you to SEND NOMINAL data FROM the OMCG software to VTube-LASER.<br><br>
+
* The NOMINAL EXPORT Enable allows OMCG to automatically respond to a request for NOMINAL data from VTube-LASER.<br><br>
+
 
+
===NOMINAL IMPORT===
+
* The NOMINAL IMPORT section allows you to IMPORT VTube-LASER data INTO the OMCG.<br><br>
+
* In this case, you can load any Supravision file created by VTube-STEP or VTube-LASER into the OMCG control.<br><br>
+
 
+
===CORRECTIONS===
+
* You can set a variety of options to control how you want the data to come into the OMCG control.<br><br>
+
* Recommended settings:<br><br>
+
 
+
# Enable corrections<br><br>
+
# Set Apply Mode to "Ask" in order to confirm that you will allow the corrections to be applied.<br><br>
+
# Apply the corrections to any of the three options.  (Use the checkboxes.)<br><br>
