VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER Project File Compatibility

Back to VTube-STEP Back to VTube-LASER

All VTube License Levels Have 100% Compatible Project Files

VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER save project files that are 100% compatible with each other. For example, anyone who runs VTube-STEP can setup and save a VTube Project file (.vtp) that can be loaded in VTube-STEP or even VTube-LASER at other locations. Customers use this capability to enter data in locations that are not near the arm, then save the project files to a network location. When FARO operator needs to measure the part as defined in the VTP file, then he/she loads the part from the network location into VTube-LASER.

So they purchase VTube-LASER Programmer to do this away from the FARO arm. The VTube-LASER PROGRAMMER version is identical to VTube-LASER except that it cannot connect to a FARO arm to measure parts.
