Starting - Starting FARO USB Digitizers
Starting FARO USB Digitizers
FARO USB portable CMMs do not require any special setup before starting. Once communication is first attempted an arm start-up calibration dialog is presented that displays a generic image of an arm and red arrows indicating which joints must be manipulated to complete the start-up calibration. You must articulate each joint of the arm until all indicators are removed and the dialog disappears before device communications can start.
