Levels of Licenses
There are three levels of licenses:
- VTube-STEP: VTube-STEP imports parts and creates master nominal bender data. VTube-STEP is priced at about 25% of VTube-LASER. VTube-STEP is file-compatible with VTube-LASER, which means it can be used to create VTube project files for VTube-LASER systems. Unlike VTube-LASER Programmer, VTube-STEP can only import and save the project MASTER data. It cannot control measure setup parameters.
- VTube-LASER: VTube-LASER is built on VTube-STEP (which means every VTube-LASER also has the VTube-STEP features). Plus VTube-LASER can measure and qualify parts using a scan arm measuring center. VTube-LASER alone can correct bender data. VTube-LASER is the top-tier license we offer that includes every feature available in the VTube-LASER line of osftware..
- VTube-LASER Programmer: VTube-LASER Programmer is identical to VTube-LASER, except that it cannot connect to a measuring center. It is ideal for a complete VTube-LASER setup by technicians. VTube-LASER Programmer is priced at 50% of VTube-LASER.
Frequently Asked Question: What are the differences between VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER PROGRAMMER?
VTube-LASER PROGRAMMER does everything VTube-LASER does except connect to measuring centers. It is intended to give complete offline control over VTube-LASER project setups.
VTube-STEP is limited compared to PROGRAMMER.
- All versions of VTube allow you to import solid models and convert the data to MASTER data.
- All versions allow you to set the default tangent point tolerance.
- Only VTube-LASER (VTL) and VTube-LASER PROGRAMMER (VTLP) allow for complete measuring center setup. Measuring center setup is a section that controls all of the parameters that apply to measuring tubes. If your technicians want complete control over every part of VTube-LASER measuring setup, then VTLP is the way to go.
- VTLP allows technicians to load existing VTube-LASER project files and view Tube Data Storage - which allows for viewing the historical data for all measurements. VTube-STEP cannot do this.
- VTLP can align a measured tube to a master tube. VTube-STEP cannot do this.
- Technicians can setup the Bender Setup screen (choose which bender with which to communicate) in VTLP. VTube-STEP does not have this feature.
- VTLP can recall data from benders. VTube-STEP cannot.
- VTLP is identical to VTube-LASER with the exception that it cannot connect to a measuring center.
- VTLP can build inspection reports. VTube-STEP cannot.
