• If the FARO Laser Line Probe is out of range, then no coordinate is
available and the DRO displays a row of asterisks (******).
Laser Line Probe Settings
Modify the settings of the FARO Laser Line Probe for your part. The
default settings are for digitizing the calibration sphere or plane that has
an opaque white surface. You can control the following:
• Scan Rate - the number of lines per second that the Laser Line Probe
records and sends to your current file. Fewer lines per second requires
you to move the Laser Line Probe slower.
• Scan Density - the amount of points each line contains. More points in
each line creates a larger file. If you are digitizing a relatively flat
surface, use less points.
• Material - controls the camera which records the laser line. Different
part material colors and textures reflect the laser line differently.
• Advanced Settings - controls the exposure settings of the camera.
To change the FARO Laser Line Probe settings:
• Choose the Laser Probe probe in the P
ROBES dialog box
