About ROMER RDS

ROMER RDS is a driver system that connects software like VTube-LASER to any ROMER arm that uses the RDS driver. See this page for details all the different arms that RDS can connect VTube-LASER to:

RDS Performance Notes

When idling, the RDS service requires only 1 to 5 percent of the CPU usage. When scanning, RDS can take up to 20% of the CPU usage. It is very important that other processes are not causing the CPU usage to rise to 100%. If you have other services that send the CPU over 50%, you may experience less than ideal scanning responses.

You can watch the CPU usage in the Windows Task Manager. In Windows 10, to display the Task Manager, right click on the task bar at the bottom of the Windows desktop and choose "Task Manager" from the popup menu.

ROMER Ball Probe Support

All ball probe systems on devices that run through RDS are compatible with VTube-LASER. (VTube-LASER can use the LASER or the ball probe.) VTube-LASER works well with systems that only have ball probes. A few of our customers prefer to use only ball probes.

ROMER Versions

RDS 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 work well. v4.2.2 and newer has anti-outlier (anti-flyer) algorithms for highly reflective surfaces.
