VTube Update History 4.4 - September, 2025

Version 4.4 - Build 1889, September 10, 2025

1 - FIX: The Nikon NMAPI Server Console will always be displayed and minimized to the taskbar.

It must be visible so the Nikon scanner editor can be displayed without locking up the system.  The console is displayed in a command window, then minimized to the taskbar.

2 - FIX: The Milliseconds pause times for the NMAPI setup are now saved correctly to the global configuration file.

The values were not saved in previous versions of VTube.


3 - NEW: The default NMAPI server pause times are now 100 ms.

This keeps the LK Metrology (Nikon) scanner from locking up the Metronor software. (The previous default times were 50 ms.)


4 - NEW: VTube-LASER will warn you if the NMAPI Server Loop Interval is adjusted to below 100 ms.


5 - FIX: The End Measure Type in Measure Setup is now stored in the project files.

6 - NEW: The End Measure Type title names have been changed to End A Trim Profile Type and End B Trim Profile Type.

This clarifies the meaning of the values.  They apply to End Profile measurements only.
