Connect A Data Collector To A Leica Instrument

Leica Geosystems makes instruments that read, store and show information for your personal mapping needs. The company is based in Heerbrugg, Switzerland, and has grown its customer base to tens of thousands over the course of its almost 200 years in existence, thanks in part to its growth to 28 countries around the world. Connecting a data collector to your Leica Global Positioning System (GPS) helps greatly with the information-gathering process.


Instructions


1. Press the "On/Off" key on the the Leica GPS instrument to turn it off; remove the controller, such as a Leica TR500, from the instrument.


2. Connect the data collector, such as a WinCE, to the Internet.


3. Plug the cable end of the Leica 560254 cable into the "Terminal" port of the Leica GPS, and plug the Lemo connector end of the cable into the "COM1" port of the WinCE data connector.


4. Insert the cable end of the Leica 563809 cable into the "Port 1l" port of the GPS, and insert the Lemo connector end of the cable into the "COM2" port of the data connector.


5. Open SurvCE on the data connector to configure its settings with the Leica GPS.
