Connection Issues with the Quantum FaroArm Using Measure 4
Problem Description
- New Quantum arm driver has been installed.
- Measure 4.0 is installed along side another FARO® product, such as Measure X.
- When running Measure 4.0, the software does not detect any FARO USB devices. The Device Setup dialog will not show an entry for the the FARO USB Arm as shown in Figure 1.
Resolution
- Shut down any running FARO applications, including Measure 4.0.
- Install Measure 4.0.7. If this is the version that is already installed, skip this step.
- Install the latest Quantum USB Arm driver and reboot the PC. If the driver has already been installed, skip this step.
- Copy and paste all the files from C:\Program Files\Common Files\FARO Shared\Devices to C:\Program Files\FARO\CAM2 Measure 4.0\Devices, overwriting any existing files.
- Launch Measure 4.0.7.
- Turn on USB Arm.
- Go through the hardware install wizard if it comes up.
- In the Device Setup dialog, click Start to load the device. The version field for the FARO USB arm should be 5.4.0.2 as shown. Other driver versions may appear but should still allow the arm to function properly.
- Start measuring with the device and make sure it is fully functional.
