Topcon DL Digital Levels with SurvCE?

Postby Terry Strickland » Sun Sep 30, 2007 1:31 am

Does anyone know how to get a digital level to communicate with the
Level module in SurvCE? I found directions in the knowledge base to
direct the output to the RS-232 port, but the level driver isn't listed
in the equipment selection tab. Is anyone doing this? If so, what
instrument do you select?
thanks in advance,
terry

I had asked about this three months ago went it first came out and the
programmers said that they would look into it. I haven't heard anything
yet. I don't know what happened to Carlson with this last version but they
seem to have relaxed too much. They have not released the notes for the
latest updates and there are still a lot of bugs in the version 2.02. Lot
of great new features, some work, some don't.

Here is the Case number for the level problem, maybe you can get them to do
something about it. CASE # 6680.

I also have a Sokkia SDL 30. Have fun.

Justin,
I spoke with one of their techs, and they are working on drivers for
some of the digital levels, maybe to be in the next release 2.03. There
is a driver in 2.02 for the sokkia sdl levels. Have you tried using it?

I am also looking at a leica sprinter. They are pretty inexpensive as
far as digital levels go, but I don't know how good they are. Specs say
2mm in a 1 km double run loop, probably good enough for what I do.
thanks,
terry
