We're seeing an error with SurvCE 2.02 when our Allegro CX is set to display 100ths or 1000ths, it only displays to the 10ths with our Sokkia SRX. We've tried changing settings in both the SRX and Allegro to no avail. We don't see this with our Leica or other Sokkia Set xx instruments, only on the SRX.

Is there some setting we're missing?

Ideally it'd display to 1000ths as set, but 100ths would be fine. Right now, we have to look at the instrument display to view the horizontal distance to the point we're staking.

The fix to this issue is to Install SurvCE Version 2.03 or higher.

Tap File / Job Settings / Stake tab = Uncheck the box for “Limited to Instrument Precision” and set the precision to the desired value in this tab. Tap the Green Checkbox in the upper right to accept the changes.

After installing this version and changing these settings SurvCE will display higher decimal values while in Tracking Mode during Stakeout using a Sokkia SRX Robot.

Please check with your Sokkia dealer and ask what the precision of the instrument is in tracking mode. We have a "limited to instrument precision" because that is basically as accurate as the intrument can shoot and anything more than that is interpolated. By unchecking this you may not be getting precise readings. If you need a fine measurement use the read button.
