Check.jpg NEW: LASER Viewport High Speed Drawing of Scanned Points While Scanning

This is the first version of VTube-LASER to display the points as it scans.

Taking in scanned points is a very intense activity for the computer. So, built-in logic senses when the operator pauses input for a second, then draws a culled (reduced) set of points on the screen as representative of the entire cloud scanned.

We are able to do this because the point culling logic was redesigned to be many times faster than previous versions. One hundred thousand points could be culled in a few seconds. Now that many points is handled in milliseconds so that the operation does not slow due to screen operations.

To use this feature, scan some stripes, then let up on the green button. You will see the stripes scanned displayed on the screen in about a second. Then continue scanning. Any time you want to see what you scanned, just release the green button to pause the scanning, and the new data will display zoomed fully to the screen.
