Faro SDK

Post by jasonyoung3d »

I am trying to find the sdk and documentation for the focus3D. I am also interested in finding what level of control the sdk offers custom software to the scanner. I read another post mentioning the automation hardware adapter, does this change the features of the scanner that are available? I am mainly interested in a continuous streaming mode from the scanner.

Hi Jason.

There is no continuous streaming mode. What you could do so, is to have smaller chunks of data written into files. Once a file is ready you can download it from the scanner into your software.

For further information on the SDK, please send me a private email to get the process started.

Best regards,

Dear Oliver,

I am also looking for the LS SDK documentation since it is mentioned in the Automation Interface Documentation http://mep.trimble.com/sites/mep.trimbl ... erface.pdf and I don't (yet) want to dive into CAN communication. I could not find the SDK documentation on FARO's website.

In the last post you said there is no continuous streaming mode. Is this still true now, 4.5 years later? How do I get the Faro Focus X130 into continuous spherical rotation mode?

Thanks!
Adrian

hey Adrian,

I'm glad you dusted off this topic. I've been trying to learn more about the Automation options. Not much that i can find online. I have a specific task that i'd like to be able to program/command for the Focus 330x. Please let me know what you find out if its not posted here.

Good luck
-Scott
