===[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] NEW: Save MASTER BENDER Data from the MASTER XYZ Data Menu===

<table cellpadding=10>
<tr valign=top>
<td width=300>
VTube now includes a new FILE tab menu in the MASTER XYZ data menu. This file tab menu allows operators to save data to save the MASTER data to a BENDER file. The output can support any file-type that is currently supported in VTube.
<br><br>
This includes:
* $$$ Supravision Files (Supravision legacy)
* SV Supravision Files (DOCS)
* S2B Supravision Files (For transferring using the Supravision Network protocol.)
* CSM bender files
* Winton bender files

===[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] ENHANCEMENT: The Cylinder Fit Window is Redesigned===

<table cellpadding=10>
<tr valign=top>
<td width=300>
The Cylinder Fit window is now completely redesigned with new explanations to make the numbers more understandable. For example the new help text reads "SE2 = The centerline is accurate to these values with 95% certainty."<br><br>
We've removed the X and Y Vector values because they were of no help in assuring accuracy of the centerline calculation in the display.
<br><br>
A new Radius Low/High and Deviation section is added to ensure that the points used to calculate the diameter are all within the same distances to the centerline calculated.

===[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] NEW: Cylinder Fit Radius Deviation Check===

<table cellpadding=10>
<tr valign=top>
<td width=300>
VTube now checks to be sure that all point clouds used in the diameter calculation all fall within a reasonable tolerance for distance from the calculated centerline.

===[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] NEW: "Pull Arm From Resting Position" Message===

<table cellpadding=10>
<tr valign=top>
<td width=300>
If the arm uses firmware version 702 or less, then it will display special messages when it is about to update the Scanner Control.<br><br>

Follow these instructions if you change the Scanner Control setup from project to project.<br><br>

The reason for this new step is that the Scanner Control will not update any integer values to or from VTube-LASER if the LASER is not able to be switched on during setup.

VTube now has a second set of tolerances for shorter straights. This allows for looser tolerances on shorter straights without producing an error message.
