Sometimes, when working with a laser scanner, an alert may appear that contains the word “FARO”. It is not possible to fix the problem, since the reasons for it are not clear. Moreover, it does not always arise, but only when working in some applications. This does not happen with conventional models.
The fact is that this error most often occurs due to problems in the interaction of Adobe applications with a laser scanner. Other programs usually do not cause such a conflict.
What is this program
Essentially, FARO LS is a laser scanning device driver that is designed to scan objects in 3D. It is capable of scanning anything up to 80 meters away and is used, for example, by architects. This driver is installed separately or bundled with some programs, for example, AutoCAD.
Laser Scanner Production technology is used in various FARO devices and allows you to very quickly scan any curved surfaces with high resolution and translate them into digital code. The computer receives a ready-made high-quality 3D model, which can be used in the future. Of course, it is built on the basis of a huge number of points, and the computer then converts their array into an object suitable for processing and editing.
What causes this error
The reason lies in the absence on the computer of one necessary library with the dll extension, but it is useless to search and install this one file. If you start looking for it, you will most likely download an infected file. After all, it is different for different systems and different models of scanners. When this missing file is accessed and an error appears.
It can also occur when driver files are damaged, infected with viruses, or simply when deleted. In this case, messages can be of very different types, but the device will not work anyway.
You can restore the device to work by reinstalling the FARO LS application, but you should take it from official sources. This driver can be included in the kit on a CD, and then it is easy to reinstall it, after removing the damaged one from the system.
If you want to download FARO LS, then you need to do this from the official website of the manufacturer specifically for your model. Then there will be no problem and no error message will appear.
