Click OK. If the test passes, the Gage should work normally. If the test
fails, contact FARO’s Customer Service.
If the test passes but your software still does not connect, make sure
your Gage driver software is current. The latest driver software may be
on a separate CD-ROM that came with your Bluetooth equipped Gage,
or any other FARO software package. If you are unsure about what
version of the Gage driver you are running contact your Customer
Service Representative by Phone, Fax or E-Mail. See “Technical
Support” on page 67.
• You are within the maximum 30' Bluetooth range, but cannot get a reliable
connection.
1 Bluetooth works with a radio frequency, or RF, signal which can be blocked
by obstructions. Metallic obstructions are especially degrading to the signal.
For best results, ensure you have a clear path between your computer and the
Gage.
