Acceptance Angle or Field of View of the SMRs
The usable acceptance angle or field of view of the 1.5” and 7/8” FARO® Spherically Mounted Retroreflectors (SMR) (both with the window and without) is approximately +/- 20 degrees.
There is additional field of view available which would allow target acquisition and measurements, but measurement degradation may occur. The amount of this degradation depends on many factors, including the tracker.
