This is in regards to using a Nikon DTM450
!!! Its critical to check the part number on your instrument cable.
A proper Nikon DTM-450 cable would normally have a part number:
"TDS148CNTG"
--- If your cable has "TDS148CGTSSOK" printed on it all the steps below will fail because this is a Topcon/Sokkia cable.
You would need to purchase a Nikon instrument cable before using SurvCE software in a data collector with your
instrument.
