Damit Ihr FARO Focus3D Laserscanner stets mit den neuesten Funktionen und Verbesserungen ausgestattet ist, empfehlen wir, die Firmware regelmäßig zu aktualisieren. Ein Firmware-Update sorgt nicht nur für eine optimale Leistung, sondern kann auch Fehler beheben und die Stabilität des Geräts verbessern.

In this tutorial, we explain step by step how to update the firmware of your FARO Focus3D laser scanner to the latest version.

Please take about 30 minutes for this update and follow all steps slowly. The update must not be interrupted! Don't skip a step!

Before starting the update, please ensure that the scanner's battery is fully charged. Connect your Focus3D X scanner to the power supply unit ensuring that no power outage could interrupt the update.
