FARO Stream 1.1.0 Release Notes - January 2023
FARO is pleased to announce the release of Stream version 1.1.0. We would like to thank customers who provided valuable product input. This release includes feature enhancements that are designed to increase productivity, mobility and ease-of-use.
IMPORTANT: Install Focus firmware 7.1.0 (or later) on your Focus Premium or Focus Core scanner before you use this version of Stream. The firmware can be downloaded from the FARO knowledge base or via the online firmware update option in the scanner.
New Features
- Support for the FARO Focus Core laser scanner, including licensing via Sphere.
- On-site compensation results can now be shared as a pdf report.
- Stream now indicates the scanning phase (e.g., "Inclinometer capturing").
- Scan base names can now be modified per cluster.
- Added new PanoCam options introduced with the FARO Focus firmware 7.1.0.
Improvements
- Point-cloud data is now optionally automatically downloaded.

Bug Fixes

Known Issues
- If a scan is assigned to another cluster before the scan is finished, the project synchronization mechanism will fail, so that on the scanner the scan will still be in the original cluster.
- Workaround: Wait to shift scans to other clusters until the scan is complete.
- In rare case the streaming of a scan can be interrupted.
- Workaround: Wait until the scan is finished and it will automatically reload after the scan is complete.
