check box to operate the Laser

Line Probe in the High Accuracy mode. High Accuracy mode can
improve the performance of the Laser line probe by up to 30%, but
reduces your field of view by 1/2 and shortens your effective
maximum scanline width to 2/3 of the normal width.

Scan Rate and Density

Use the Scan Rate Density settings for data reduction. Reducing the
number of points the Laser Line Probe collects can improve system
performance, increase scanning speed and potentially reduce unwanted
noisy data.

• Scan Rate - choose the number of scan lines per second. 1/1 is the

normal rate of scan lines per second, set this to discard scan lines.

N

OTE

: Always set the scan rate to 1/1 when calibrating the Laser Line

Probe.

• Scan Density - choose the number of points on each scan line. 1/1 is

all of the points on the laser line, set this to discard points on each
line.

• Information - displays the unique information for the current FARO

Laser Line Probe.

Basic Settings

: The current material setting is stored on your computer and in

the FaroArm. If you connect the FaroArm to another computer, the
current material will be
