Multiple Vantage Users

A lock system prohibits two or more users on different computers from performing write functions (such as changing probes, changing distance modes, etc.) to the same Vantage concurrently. Read functions (such as taking readings) are not affected by the lock system.

The Device Center panel will overwrite the probe setting in the device with the probe setting from the local file on startup, which creates a conflict if two users attempt to access the device with two different probe sizes.

For more information on connecting, configuring, and measuring with multiple Vantages, see the Multiple Devices section of the Devices chapter in the FARO CAM2 2021 electronic help.
