VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER Project File Compatibility

Back to VTube-STEP Back to VTube-LASER

All VTube License Levels Have 100% Compatible Project Files

VTube-STEP, VTube-LASER Programmer, and VTube-LASER save project files that are 100% compatible with each other. For example, anyone who runs VTube-STEP can setup and save a VTube Project file (.vtp) that can be loaded into VTube-LASER or VTube-LASER Programmer. Customers use this capability to save cost when entering setup data in remote locations that are not near their FARO arm with VTube-LASER. When FARO operator needs to measure the part as defined in the VTP file, then he/she loads the part from the network location into VTube-LASER.

About the VTube-LASER Programmer License

You can setup a VTube-LASER project in VTube-STEP. However, some customers also want to control the LASER mode MEASURE SETUP variables that are not available in STEP mode. So they purchase VTube-LASER Programmer to do this away from the FARO arm. The VTube-LASER PROGRAMMER version is identical to VTube-LASER except that it cannot connect to a FARO arm to measure parts.

File Compatibility with Older Versions

All newer versions of VTube can load the project files from any older versions. Older versions don't recognize newer files, but newer versions can save in older file formats in the Save Dialog.
