Prepare the
scanner:
1. Place the scanner upside down on a stable, flat surface. Take care to
protect the mirror from dirt, dust or falling objects.
2. Place the scanner plate onto the base of the scanner. Ensure that it slides
into the circular depression that surrounds the center thread.
3. Use a 4 mm hex key to tighten the four screws so that the scanner plate is
firmly attached to the scanner.
Use the Quick
Release:
1. Ensure that the tripod is level and that the tripod plate is firmly attached to
the tripod. Use your hand to tighten it, if necessary.
2. Ensure that the fixation screw in the scanner plate is unscrewed so that it
won’t block the scanner plate from sliding over the center spindle.
3. Holding the scanner from both sides, slide the scanner plate over the
center spindle.
4. Using your fingers, tighten the fixation screw until the scanner plate is firmly
attached to the center spindle.
You can now use the scanner. To remove the scanner, loosen the fixation
screw and lift the scanner from the center spindle.
6.5 SD Card
6.5.1 Preparing an SD Card
The FARO Laser Scanner stores the recorded scans on a removable SD card.
This memory card can also be used to create backups of the scanner settings,
to import scanner settings, and to install firmware updates.
Before carrying out a scan project, you can use the SCENE software to set up
an SD card with project relevant information and settings, like the project
structure, scan profiles, or scanner operators. These settings can then be
transferred to the scanner. For more information on scan project preparation
with SCENE and transferring data to the scanner, see the SCENE user
manual and
SD Card on page 107.
SDHC or SDXC cards are highly recommended. Memory cards with a size up
to 64 GB have been verified to operate with the scanner. We recommend
using memory cards with a capacity of 4 GB or more. The speed of the card
