Holding the Laser Line Probe
Never grab the Laser Line Probe while measuring. Simply hold the
FaroArm's pistol grip. Holding the Laser Line Probe can cause
inaccuracy due to bending of its mounting bracket.
N
OTE: Avoid touching both lenses. Clean the top and bottom lenses
with the cloth from the Laser Line Probe case. Dirt and grease on
either lens can cause poor results.
Hardware Controls and Indicators
The FaroArm/FARO Laser Line Probe system uses the FRONT (Green)
and BACK (Red) and two LEDs on the back of the Laser Line Probe.
Buttons
Use the FRONT (green) button to start data collection. Points are only
sent to the computer when the laser is in range. Once you start collecting
data, press the FRONT button again to pause.
Use the BACK (red) button to end any measurement command.
