The following RDS RSx setup is recommended for using VTube-LASER with HEXAGON arms and the RS5 and RS3 (red laser) scanners.

• 1 - Capture mode: "Keep button pressed"
• 2 - Scanning profile: Save a profile named "VTube" (Do this last - after you have set both 3 and 4.)
• 3 - Point sampling - Set it as low as possible. The lower setting is still a lot of data from HEXAGON.
• 4 - Exposure mode: Auto

How Fix RDS when the RDS Service Will Not Start

If the RDS Service will not Run (image here shows running), the "Stop" button will read "Start". If when you press "Start" RDS does not start, then an uninstall and reinstall of RDS may be necessary.
