Check.jpg ENHANCED: Bender Number Stored in Project

Vtube-laser 1.86 BenderNumber.png

The bender number selected for communications is now stored in the project file for recall later. The assumption is that a given part is often bent on the same bender.



Check.jpg ENHANCED: AddisonMckee Mark IV EXTENDED Communications

Some AddisonMckee Mark IV benders require that its custom teach mode data be returned in the communication data during an automated bender correction from VTube. For benders that require this data during corrections from VTube, if this data is not found by the control, then a small message box will appear with a message that the incoming data is not AddisonMckee Mark IV data.

To solve this problem, VTube-LASER now handles this data if it is available during a RECALL options from the bender. This means that a RECALL is required before corrections are made to this kind of control.

  • If the Mark IV data is available, then a new tab menu appears next to the correction grid in Bender Data Setup.

  • This tab menu shows the AddisonMckee custom data. It can be read but not modified.

  • Be sure to perform a RECALL from the AddisonMckee before attempting to SEND corrections. This will ensure that this data is stored and returned to the bender at correction time.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • More optimizations were performed on internal timers - making VTube faster.

  • Changes were made to the interface to clear up the potential for orphaned windows in the Dell M6700 laptops. For example, when the LASER mode window displays, the STEP mode window is now made invisible.

  • VTube-LASER Bender Data Setup is quicker to return an error message when it any network connection no longer exists. Previous versions could lock for minutes.

  • The "Cancel Changes" button now works inside the Comment editors.

  • The VTube splash screen now loads and displays before VTube starts loading.
