Remote control?!

Post by soranan »

Hi everyone.

Are there any other ways to remote control the FARO FOCUS, than the browsersolution as mentioned below?
https://knowledge.faro.com/Hardware/3D_ ... ile_Device

I experience a lot of problems with this solution. Some days it works fine, and other days i can not connect at all. Restarted phone and scanner like 5-6 times without any luck.
I am a bit scared to travel a long way for these kind of jobs, because i can not be sure that the remote control functions correct.

We are in 2020 and i can not remote control my scanner without connection issues.

As I do not know exactly what the issue its better he goes through our support at this time.
The scanner is an S120 which was the first generation of the Focus-series. I believe that our capabilities and the enhancements that has been done from the S120 to today is quite significant.
It works really well with the new S-series and our Onsite-Registration is relying on the capabilities of using the Wifi on the scanner.

Hmm are you saying : we don't give a solution to existing S120 users (i believe there a a lot of there) but we try to sell some new stuff, even if it isn't necessary for them or send the unit in so we can charge $$$ for a simple fix?

@Lieven Beuckx thanks for your comment. I only state he needs to contact our support regarding the issue but that the developtment of wireless technology in general has been improved since we launched the S120.

With the S120 and X330 I was having problems with the connection on a 60' mast. It was in a city environment where interference could have been the problem. I attached a usb wifi adapter to a 50' usb cord, plugged it into the laptop and attached it close to the scanner. Not a convenient solution but it did work.
