Moving the Tube for longer Parts

When measuring long tubes, it may not be possible to reach the full tube without moving the arm or tube. The steps below show the process of measuring and moving a tube to produce measured data. This process is not as accurate as using Leapfrog but can still be used to measure long tubes.
Any number of moves can be combined to measure any distance.

Start a Tube Measurement

Begin measuring the tube. Once the arm can no longer reach the next straight, press the Move button in the guide box. This move function appears after measuring at least 3 straights.

Moving the Tube

Measure at least three straights.
Press Move in the Guide Box
Click "Measure Previous Bend and Move"
Move the Tube
Press Continue.
Move back two straights and begin measuring again.
Finish measuring the tube, or if needed, move the tube again and continue scanning.
