6.10 Data Security
Scans are hashed and cryptographically signed to make it possible to detect
whether the recorded scan data has been modified. The hash value of a scan can be
manually checked on the scanner GUIs Scan Properties page. In addition, the hash
and signature of a scan can be verified with an external tool that is available on
FARO's Knowledge Base (knowledge.faro.com/Hardware/3D_Scanners/Focus/
Scan_Verification_Tool_Download_and_Manual).
6.11 Shutting Down the FARO Laser Scanner
To shut down the FARO Laser Scanner, press its Power On/Off button for 2
or 3 seconds or tap the Power button in the user interface drop-down list
under
Home. The top LEDs will start blinking blue. As soon as the FARO Laser
Scanner has finished the shutdown process the LEDs will stop blinking and
you can safely remove the battery and the power supply.
Pressing and holding the button more than 10 seconds will switch the
FARO Laser Scanner off without shutting down. Use this option only if the
FARO Laser Scanner does not shut down regularly because of a malfunction.

CAUTION
Damages to the scanner’s internal PC and loss of data.
Do not turn off the power of the FARO Laser Scanner before
the shut down cycle is complete.
The FARO Laser Scanner has an integrated PC with a hard
drive. This internal PC must be shut down before turning off
the power supply. If the power supply is disconnected or
switched off without the FARO Laser Scanner being
previously shut down, it may damage the internal PC and
might lead to a loss of data.
If the FARO Laser Scanner has not been shut down properly,
the next boot process could take more time as usual as the
FARO Laser Scanner might check its hard disk for errors.
