Revision 2.7

Release Date: Not Released

We've embedded Benderlink for BLM bender communications inside VTube-LASER.

A new SOCO-specific bender communications protocol is now built into VTube-LASER.

This protocol uses communications through a standard Ethernet connection.
The protocol can send XYZ data for building new parts, or modify YBC data in the Execution File page when the bender is running in Auto mode.
See VTube Communication for SOCO for details.

The Excel XLS file import is enhanced to handle TeZet file imports better.

The import automatically discovers the XYZ row with no data in order to set the point count.
The import lets you set the part number from the XLS data.
The import lets you set the diameter from the XLS data.
The import lets you set the wall thickness from the XLS data.
The import automatically sets the default radius value in the Part Setup menu.
