Chapter 6: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
• Can a single Edge connect using both Bluetooth wireless and a USB cable at
the same time?
No. If both are properly connected, the Bluetooth wireless will be the only
active connection for that Edge.
• Can I use a FARO Laser Line Probe with the FARO Wireless connection?
Yes .
• Can I add a Bluetooth wireless connection while the FaroArm driver is already
running?
No, the FaroArm driver must be unloaded before changing any FARO
Wireless settings.
• Why does it take longer for my measuring software to open when I use the
FARO Wireless connection?
The FaroArm driver requires more time to initialize when using a FARO
Wireless connection and this translates into slightly increased load times for
the measuring software.
• Why does it take longer for the P
ROBES dialog box to go away when I am using
a FARO Wireless connection.
Probe data saves in the Edge and requires more time for this information to
transfer when using the FARO Wireless connection.
• What happens if I go out of range and lose my connection? What happens if I
turn off the Edge while it is connected using the FARO Wireless connection?
Once the FaroArm driver detects that the Edge is no longer connected, after
about 10 seconds, a message appears asking if you want to restore the FARO
Wireless connection. If you click No, the connection stops. If you click Yes,
attempts are made to restore the connection.
• Why do I continue to see the message asking if I want to continue to use the
FARO Wireless connection?
Either the Edge has lost power, or it is out of the 30 feet or 10 meters
wireless range. After correcting the problem, click Yes to restore the
connection.
• Can I use all of the communication options at the same time?
You can use multiple communication protocols with the following
limitations:
• USB, Ethernet, and Bluetooth are active at the same time, WLAN is
disabled
• USB and WLAN are active at the same time, Bluetooth is disabled.
