   3. Position 7/8” SMR on Home position.
2. Once CAM2 is open, connect the FaroArm, and click Yes when prompted to add the FaroArm.
   1. Ensure the TrackArm kit / SMR probe is installed (do not locate the SMR).
   2. Position the 7/8” tooling ball and nest so it can be used for calibration.

Run the Locate TrackArm Wizard

1. Once the Tracker and FaroArm are connected, CAM2 will prompt to run the Locate TrackArm Wizard, select Yes.
   
   Note: The TrackArm wizard can also be started via Devices > Locate TrackArm
   
2. The Locate TrackArm Wizard guides the user through the FARO Super 6DoF set up process to align a FaroArm^® or FARO ScanArm^® to a FARO Laser Tracker, so that both systems are measuring within the same coordinate system. For a detailed description of this procedure see: Super 6DoF TrackArm Set-up with CAM2.
3. Once complete, proceed to Pair and Connect 6Probe.

Pair and Connect the 6Probe

For a video outlining this procedure see: Pairing the 6Probe with the Vantage S6 and E6 Laser Tracker

1. Turn the 6Probe power on.
2. Using ActiveSeek™ lock the Tracker on to the SMR located in the center of the 6Probe. Verify the probe is between 2.5m and 15m from the Tracker. The Tracker must be locked onto the 6Probe retro-reflector and the LED’s on its front face during the entire pairing process.
3. Press any of the 6Probe’s four buttons to start the pairing process. All three status LEDs will flash blue during the pairing process. Once complete, the center LED will turn solid blue and tone will sound to indicate a successful pairing. The outer LEDs will flash green until a probe is activated from the Probe Management Screen.
4. Once paired, select the probe tip to activate and proceed to Activate the “Auto Recognize Features” Setting for Both Devices
