• 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.
  
  

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

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

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.
