X-Ray Sensor Driver

The Faro X-Ray Sensor driver enables Windows to recognize the sensor and communicate with it through compatible imaging software. It is intended for users setting up the device for the first time, reconnecting it after a Windows reinstall, or troubleshooting a detection problem. Listed in the Camera category, this device requires a driver matched to its specific hardware and operating system.

Key Features

• Provides the device-specific communication layer needed for compatible software to access the Faro X-Ray Sensor.
• Supports device recognition in Windows, helping distinguish a correctly installed sensor from an unknown device in Device Manager.
• Offers driver options listed for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; check the individual package for its supported versions and architecture.
• Can help resolve driver-related connection issues when the selected package matches the sensor’s hardware ID.

How to Install X-Ray Sensor Driver

1. Identify your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. If the sensor appears in Device Manager, open its Properties and check Details > Hardware Ids to help confirm the correct driver.
2. Before choosing an X-Ray Sensor driver download for Windows, verify the package’s compatibility with your exact Faro device. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported, but Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed.
3. Select the latest version explicitly compatible with your setup. If a package is offered as a free download, still verify its source and check any available publisher or digital-signature information before running it.
4. Extract the downloaded files if necessary, then follow the included instructions to install the driver. Use the supplied installer, or select Update driver in Device Manager and browse to the extracted driver folder if the package requires manual installation.
5. Restart Windows if prompted, connect the sensor as directed by the manufacturer, and confirm that Device Manager shows no driver warning. Open your compatible imaging application to check device recognition; application setup may require additional manufacturer instructions.

Keep the driver updated when Faro provides a compatible release that addresses a relevant issue or supports your software. Before an update, review the package notes and retain a working installer so you can restore the previous version if needed. A newer driver is not necessarily suitable for every sensor revision or older Windows system.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Close any Faro imaging/acquisition software before installing, run the driver package as administrator, and confirm the Windows version/architecture matches the package. If an older driver exists, uninstall it and reboot before retrying.
• X-Ray Sensor not detected: Check the sensor’s power/status LEDs, reseat the USB/interface cable, and try a direct port instead of a hub. In Device Manager, scan for hardware changes and resolve any unknown device or missing interface driver.
• Driver/software version conflicts: Mismatched Faro driver and acquisition-software versions can cause acquisition errors. Uninstall the old driver and vendor imaging suite, remove stale devices in Device Manager, then install the matched driver/software set and reboot before connecting the sensor.
