Check.jpg NEW: Use Leapfrog To Measure Very Long Tubes

The new Leapfrog feature allows you to measure any length of tube by measuring three or more magnetic cones, leaping the cones with the FARO arm, then measuring the cones again - then continuing measuring from where you left off before the leap.

A leap can occur at any point during any tube measurement.

Leapfrog moves are more accurate than using the "Move Tube" command because they rely on more precise conical seats.

Check.jpg NEW: FARO Calibration Dialogs Now Shows Either Inches or Millimeters

Previous versions showed all linear distance values in Millimeters. Some users prefer to view them in Inches, so now the dialogs will show either unit depending on the current unit setting in VTube-LASER.

Check.jpg NEW: Direct Communications with Eaton Leonard Premier, EL2000, and Ve-log Benders

  • Eaton Leonard Premier, EL2000, and Ve-log use an older current loop protocol that VTube can support with the appropriate electronics. (Benderlink Ethernet Module)

Check.jpg Enhanced: Project Batch Report Output

  • We added a second type of report per a customer spec.
  • The reports are now built to both comma delimted and tab delimited files.
  • The reports can be sent directly to Excel.

Load the batch reporter in the Report menu of either STEP mode of LASER mode:

This is a sample report file:

If the batch reporter finds files with 0 or negative length straights, then it will issue a WARNING at the end of the report log and create a second report file containing a list of all the project files with these lengths:
