There are two ways to update the firmware of your FARO Laser Scanner:

• The firmware is transferred with the SD card
The update process can take up to 30 or 40 minutes depending on the extent
of the update.

Select Set Update Server URL to set the URL link of the server that provides
the online firmware updates.

Update via SD card
If you have the firmware update file on your computer, you can use the SD
card to transfer it to the scanner. Copy the update file to the folder “Updates”
on your SD card first. If this folder does not exist, you must create it manually.
Please pay attention to lower and uppercase when entering the folder name.
