• Click Load Default settings to load the default or factory settings.

• Click Load Saved settings to load any settings that you have previously saved.

• Click OK to apply any changes and continue.

• Click Cancel to exit without applying changes.

General

• Number of Targets: The number of targets to measure in the routine.

Repeatability

Use the Repeatability tab in the Customize FARO CompIT dialog box to set the repeatability parameters for CompIT.

• Repeatability Tolerance: Set the maximum error for consecutive measurements for each location during the Pointing Compensation and Squareness Compensation.

• Repeatability Iterations: Set the number of repeating consecutive measurements for each location during the Pointing Compensation and Squareness Compensation.

• Repeatability Max Iterations: Set the maximum number of measurement attempts for each measurement before generating an error message prompts you to review your environment.

Pointing Interim Test

Use the Pointing Interim Test tab in the CustomizeFARO CompIT dialog box to set the parameters for all Pointing Interim Tests.

• Select the Use Custom Target Locations check box and enter values for the three target locations.
