DCF - Dual Cylinder Fit

About the Feature

DCF is the major enhancement for VTube-LASER in version 2.8 (April 19, 2017) because it replicates measuring the tube TWICE in one pass without the user noticing. This method helps to ensure repeatability of the cylinder measurements on-the-fly using a LASER scanner. When using the LASER scanner, the UNISCAN DCF feature divides the cylinder surface data into two groups, then calculates the cylinder data and intersection points twice to verify repeatability. (Note that this feature is not used tactile measurements.) The Point Repeatability value is reported in the Cylinder Fit window. If this value is too high, then VTube-LASER will warn you. This allows you to remeasure the straight to guarantee that the measure repeats before moving to the next straight. Click on the image below to see the introductory video:
