CompIT Log File Location and Generation for the Laser Tracker
The CompIT log generated by the FARO Laser Tracker is used to verify accuracy issues and log what was done during a CompIT.
For the Vantage tracker:
The CompIT log file is located in the following hidden folder:
Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 Computers: C:\ProgramData\FAROLaser\CompIT
Windows XP Computers: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FARO Laser\CompIT
The file name is CompITLog.txt

- In Windows 7: In Windows Explorer, goto Organize -> Folder and Search Options. Select the View tab and choose "Show hidden files and folders".
- In Windows XP: In Windows Explorer, goto Tools, select the View tab and choose "Show hidden files and folders".
