The new STRIPE CUT PLANE feature is designed to eliminate entire laser stripes of data that are too far from the probe. It is included in the CUT PLANE CONTROL Window.

This is helpful for smaller parts because the scanners have an active depth range that allows them to pick up stripes that are within a 127mm (5 inch) inch range top to bottom.

The goal of the SCP feature is to ensure that the scanner does not accidentally catch any object in a stripe that is far away from the first diameter relative to the probe.

SCP works with the DCP feature to ensure that no stray laser stripe data is used in a scan like this:

1. - The CUT PLANE feature removes any surface data found below standard cut planes that are active.
   
   
2. - The DCP (DIAMETER CUT PLANE) feature removes the tails of stripes.
   
   
3. - The SCP (STRIPE CUT PLANE) feature then removes any stripe that is too far from the probe relative to the closest stripe to the probe.
   
   

We discovered that the MTA feature would record all the tubes and build he average in Tube Data Storage, but would not copy it into main memory.

This has been fixed.

The offset values are the same as the old Supravision "tangent" end points in the Critical Reports section of the Inspection Data report.

The new tokens for this data are:

• A-EndOffset
• B-EndOffset

• The Split Bend calculations in STEP mode are improved from previous versions.
  
  
• The Split Bends are set to ACTIVE automatically when importing Split Bends.

The floating windows have some enhancements in this version that ensures that they stay on top of parent windows.

• The part number is automatically inserted in the "Displayed in UI" box above the menus when a CAD model is imported.
  
  
• The internal configuration engine was updated in order to solve some minor configuration file issues.
