CUSTOMER ARM MODEL

  • Any FARO Arm with a BluLaser Scanner

CUSTOMER ISSUE

The customer could not get any laser data into VTube-LASER - even though the range finder showed that data was incoming.

OUR DISCOVERY

The FARO driver has a new Movement Filter option that has an impact on scanning even when it is DISABLED.

In this screen image of the Probe Management window, we show that the Movement Filter is disabled, and the value of the filter is set to ZERO. Even when disabled, this filter set to zero will block all incoming laser data.

SOLUTION

The solution is to set the value to anything non-zero.

  • Enable the option
  • Slide the slider all the way to the right
  • Disable the option
  • Save the change

The screen should now look something like this:

RESULT

The FARO driver now allows laser data to come into VTube-LASER.
