Faro Specific Settings

Distance Mode

Beam rest can be manually overridden as needed. Choose between:

 

External Trigger Settings

When “External” is set (for the Measurement Start Trigger in the Faro Tracker Settings), points will be taken when the trigger is pulsed. The only requirements is that a profile must be started for the external trigger to be recognized which as an Acquisition mode of either spatial or temporal scan. The advantage of this design is that no adjustments to the measurement profile need to be made, and any profile will work (Figure 3-75).

Faro’s video camera is used is used for reflector acquisition and provides a couple of optional modes:

 

Spatial Scan Data Buffering

Data buffering was added to ensure that SA keep up with data delivered form the instrument. With a very tight scan increment this can be quite fast (~100Hz).

Its important to know that this buffering happens on the Faro side, the interface will not receive any data until the buffer is filled. So for example, you cannot set a scan whose increment would result in a calculated buffer size of 100 points, and yet set a profile to stop at 20 points because it will not send data at all until 100 points have been recorded.
