Notes Regarding Probes and Calibrations
Probe Calibrations Function as Probe Definitions
- Press the cal button in the interface to run the calibration, hit
the 'Edit' button, modify the name & diameter, hit 'Create New', and run
the calibration for the new definition.
- Then, the next time in the cal dialog, select 'current probe'
from the drop down AND/OR hit 'View Log' to see results and set the active
calibration.
- You can select previous probe/scanner cal's from the calibration
log. It's located in
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Faro\FaroArmUsb\FaroArmProbes4.xml"
It has the 4 on the end because it is compatible with version 4's probe file.
In future Faro releases, this file name will stay the same as long as the files
are compatible. You'll also find FaroLaserScannerSettings.xml in the same
folder (don't edit).
