Place the 3 targets or the leapfrog plate as far from the arm as possible in the direction you want to leap.
Press "Leapfrog the Arm" button in the guide window on the left.
Measure the targets with the ball probe or laser scanner if using the spheres. If using the ball probe, press the green button (FARO) or red button (HEXAGON) to measure each target.
Press the red button (FARO) or black button (HEXAGON) to finish the initial measure.
Without moving the targets, the plate or the tube, leap the arm to a new position.
Measure the targets with the ball probe or laser in the same order as the first measurement.
Press the acquisition button to finish the measure.
The leap is complete. Continue measuring where you left off before.Leapfrog Kit - Magnetic or Plate
