Revision 1.75

Back to VTube-LASER
Back to VTube-STEP

After extensive Gage R&R tests, the Split Bend logic is completely rewritten and is more accurate and robust than the original logic.

A new Split Bend plane object shows the plane were the split is being performed. (See the orange planes in the image on the right.)

• This version addresses issues with the new Scanner Setup in v1.74.
  
  
• The current scanner setup is now displayed below the DRO.

If the arm uses firmware version 702 or less, then it will display special messages when it is about to update the Scanner Control.

Follow these instructions if you change the Scanner Control setup from project to project.

The reason for this new step is that the Scanner Control will not update any integer values to or from VTube-LASER if the LASER is not able to be switched on during setup.

VTube now has a second set of tolerances for shorter straights. This allows for looser tolerances on shorter straights without producing an error message.

VTube now checks to be sure that all point clouds used in the diameter calculation all fall within a reasonable tolerance for distance from the calculated centerline.

A new tolerance is added for surface point diameter check.

The current arm firmware is now read and used by VTube to determine how to handle the arm during Scanner Control changes.

For high-precision end scans, a new end-scan technique is recommended in the VTube-LASER manual. See End-Scan Using End Targets for details.

For example, for ends with highly reflective ends, a new technique includes using white targets on the end of the tubes.
