VTube-LASER uses the Bender Setup screen to control the values in up to 100 connected benders.

This screen shows data that is a separate part of VTube memory. The data in this screen is the bender data, both before and after correction, and it is kept unchanged unless changed by the operator.

• The blue columns represent the data at the bender before correction.
  
  
• The orange columns represent the data at the bender after correction.
  
  
• The columns between the blue and orange columns represent the adjustments to the data.

With the right protocol at the bender, VTube-LASER can recall data from the bender, and send both setup and correction data to the bender.

• Operators typically press the "1" button to recall data to be sure the data in the blue columns match the data in the bender.
  
  
• Then they press "2" to send the orange columns to the bender as corrected data.
  
  
• Press "3" to clear the adjustment data after a correction as it should only be used one time.
  
  
• For benders that can't respond to a recall (1 above), they can recalculate the blue columns by clearing and placing the adjustments back into the blue columns automatically.
  
  

VTube-LASER has incorporated a unique correction damping feature into the software for situations were corrections may tend to over correct.

The damping algorithm was learned by observing corrections in customer applications. We can confirm that it works well when needed.
