If your VTube-LASER shows one line of numbers in the datum grid, then the most likely problem is a changed iteration variable name. Follow these steps to solve the problem.

How to Fix The DATUM Report That Shows One Line

There is a variable name value inside the template file that needs to changed.

1 Go to the Reports menu in LASER mode.

2 Single-click on the datum report row.
