Revision 1.89

Check.jpg ENHANCEMENT and FIX: For Disappearing VTube Floating Windows

Floating control windows (like Collect, Guide, Calculate, or Tube Measure) could disappear when there are other applications also have stay-on-top windows present. Now VTube regularly checks for these windows to be sure they are on top where they belong.

Check.jpg ENHANCEMENT: New Sound for Calc Complete

VTube has a new soft mallet sound that indicates that the centerline calculation is complete

This new sound lets users know that the calculation is completed without having to look a the screen.

Check.jpg ENHANCEMENT: Ignore Red Button Press with ZERO Points

When no points are present in the buffer, then the red button press will be ignored. The process will not be allowed to move forward.

This avoids accidental red button presses.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • The DRO now reports the number of STRIPES rather than the number of POINTs when in laser scanner mode. This lets you know exactly how many stripes have been scanned on any straight or end - in order to allow you to decide if enough stripes are in memory before pressing the red button for early completion.

  • The SEND SUCCESS window will now close if you exit the Bender Data Setup window.
