Chapter 3: Operation
FARO Wireless - Bluetooth
The Quantum is a Bluetooth equipped device and can connect to your computer
without using a cable.
NOTE: The Bluetooth connection will not support Laser Line Probe use.
Bluetooth wireless is a short-range communications technology intended to
replace the cables connecting devices. The range of a Class 2 system, such as the
Quantum, is approximately 30 feet or 10 meters. Bluetooth devices are generally
paired, or associated with each other, either openly or employing security, with
one serving as the master device and the second as the slave. In the case of the
Quantum:
• The Quantum is the slave.
• The host computer is the master.
• Basic PIN based security is employed.
• The host computer establishes an RS-232 emulation or Serial Port Profile
(SPP) connection to the Quantum.
• Once the connection is established, the PC and Quantum can transfer data at
a rate of 921600 bits/second.
NOTE: If your Quantum is connected with USB cable and Bluetooth, only
the Bluetooth connection will be active.
To activate the Bluetooth signal, press the Bluetooth On/Off Button. Connect the
Quantum to your computer:
• Using Bluetooth - Windows 10
• Using Bluetooth - Windows 7
Using Bluetooth - Windows 10
Create the wireless connection between the host computer and the Quantum
using:
• The Devices category of the Windows Settings command.
• FaroArm Manager
NOTE: Ensure your computers Bluetooth radio is on. Some computers have
a hard switch for the wireless receiver and some are only controlled through
a software switch.
