• X, Y, Z Machine Coordinates.
• Encoder angles for each joint of the Gage.
• FRONT and BACK button, and Auxiliary
Port operations.
• The Temperature of the Gage’s internal
sensor.
• The Joint Status of each joint of the Gage
which also includes the encoder end stop

Click the PERFORM SINGLE POINT
ARTICULATION TEST (SPAT) button to run a Single Point Articulation Test
(SPAT) with your Gage. You can save this report to a file which you can send to
FARO’s Customer Service Department. For more information, see “Single Point
Articulation Test (SPAT)” on page 48.
Temperature
Select TEMPERATURE from the GAGE menu. This command
displays the current temperature of the Gage and the elapsed time
of the temperature sampling.
Because different components heat up or cool down at different
rates, the Gage must be at a steady state temperature (within ±3°
Celsius for five minutes) before measuring with the device.
