any number can be defined.
Editing a Pairing
Right-click any Bluetooth pairing icon to edit. You can:

Using the Edge Bluetooth Pairing
When the measuring software is launched (CAM2 Q, CAM2 Measure, CAM2
Measure X, Geomagic, Polyworks, etc.) the FaroArm driver attempts to use any
Edge connection - USB cable and any active Bluetooth pairings. It takes slightly
longer, 8 or 10 seconds, for an Edge to connect and initialize via Bluetooth.
