Revision 1.54

Back to VTube-LASER

The digital readout was added to give feedback for the arm motion - especially for arm diagnostics.

The automatic "arm as a mouse" feature is enhanced so that the arm can be used as a mouse whenever a dialog displays on the screen - even in the middle of tube measurement. As soon as the dialog closes and measuring resumes, the arm as a mouse feature switches off.

The Arm Mouse state button is used to change the state of the arm as mouse.

Now the Measure Tube process automatically clears from the screen after the data from End B is collected

This causes the tube measure control to close automatically.

Intersection points are calculated in realtime and displayed on the screen as orange points.

Each point is checked for a Maximum Intersection Error which is set in the Measuring 2 tab of the System Options menu. The default tolerance is 2mm, or 0.078 inches.

If an intersection error calculates beyond the tolerance, then VTube stops and warns the operator of a potential problem, then allows him to remeasure or continue to the next straight.

The VTube program is now code signed in order to comply with the Microsoft Authenticode requirements.

• Ensures authenticity - users that they know where the code came from
• Ensures integrity - verifies that code has not been tampered with since publication
• Reduces error messages and security warnings on download and installation on Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers
