FARO Wireless FAQ
• How fast is the connection?
1 Megabit/second.
• What is the range of the FARO Wireless connection?
Approximately 30 feet or 10 meters.
• How many simultaneous Bluetooth wireless connections can be
established with the FaroArm driver?
Two.
• Can both USB and Bluetooth wireless FaroArms be connected
simultaneously?
Yes.
• Can a single FaroArm 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 FaroArm.
• 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 FaroArm and requires more time for this
information to transfer when using the FARO Wireless
connection.
