Starting the Interface

  1. Select Instrument > Add and choose the appropriate Faro tracker from the Add Instrument to SA dialog.

 

  1. Connect. The first time this should be performed using the drop-down list and choosing Laser Trackers.

  2. Within the Connect to Spatial Analyzer dialog, Select the instrument station (computer name, job name, Collection::Instrument Name: Serial Number) you wish to connect your instrument to from the network list and press OK.

  3. This will bring up the Faro Connection dialog.


Enter the tracker’s IP address (if different than the default) and use the Ping button to test the connection if needed.

Once satisfied, click OK. The next time you connect this instrument to the instrument, you can just select Run Interface and Connect. This will utilize the last saved settings and automatically connect the instrument.
