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.

RDS Control Panel Setup

This is how we recommend that you setup the RSx menu in the RDS Control Panel.

Capture mode: Keep button pressed
Sound guide: Unchecked (OFF)
Point Sampling: 25% (or the lowest available)
Behavior when press the left and right buttons: Switch exposure mode
Exposure mode: Automatic

To change any of these settings, you will need to changed from Standard mode to Advanced mode. Click on the Standard user button on the upper right corner, then change to Advanced mode by entering the password. The default password is "Advanced".

If you want to, you can save a custom profile (setup) as something like "VTube-LASER".

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.
