This page describes the use of the VTube-LASER to Transfluid bender corrections.

Transfluid SVNet Communications Protocol in VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP

As of version 3.0 build 456, we've embedded the Transfluid SVNET protocol in VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER.

You can set this protocol in the Benderlink setup grid in System Options.



Configuring Transfluid tProject for Communications

Follow these steps in Transfluid tProject to set up communications for VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP

SET UP STEPS

STEP 1

Click on the blue button wrench/screwdriver button in the upper right corner of the user interface.

STEP 2

Click on the Import/Export tab.

STEP 3

Enter the set up data in the Import box.

  • 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.)

Using the OMCG Easy Programming 4 Measuring System Interface

Click on the Measuring System button in the toolbar to load the Measure System Interface.

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.

  • The NOMINAL EXPORT Enable allows OMCG to automatically respond to a request for NOMINAL data from VTube-LASER.

NOMINAL IMPORT

  • The NOMINAL IMPORT section allows you to IMPORT VTube-LASER data INTO the OMCG.

  • In this case, you can load any Supravision file created by VTube-STEP or VTube-LASER into the OMCG control.

CORRECTIONS

  • You can set a variety of options to control how you want the data to come into the OMCG control.

  • Recommended settings:

  1. Enable corrections

  2. Set Apply Mode to "Ask" in order to confirm that you will allow the corrections to be applied.

  3. Apply the corrections to any of the three options. (Use the checkboxes.)

OMCG Documentation from OMCG

This is the official OMCG Document (PDF - English) for setup and use of the OMCG SVNET protocol.
