This is in regards to using a Nikon NPL350 or NPL330 or DTM362 or DTM352 or DTM522

!!! Its critical to check the part number on your instrument cable.  

A proper Nikon 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.

***On the Instrument***
  1) Menu
  2) 3 Settings
  3) 5 Comm.
  4) Set Ext. Comm to "Nikon" {the other option is "Set"}
  5) Baud = 4800 / 8 / None / 1

  6) Menu / 3 Settings / 8 Rec
  7) Set "Data Rec." to "Comm" {the other option is "Internal"}

***SurvCE 2.61 settings***
  1) Tap the Equip tab then tap "Total Station"
  2) Set the Manufacturer to "Nikon" and set the Model to "NPL-330 Series"
  3) Tap the Comms tab and set it up for:
      Type: Cable
      Port: Com1
      Baud: 4800 / Data Bits: 8 / Parity: None / Stop Bits: 1
  4) Fill out the Settings and Search tab with your preferences
  5) Tap the Green Check in the upper right to save your changes


--> Please Note:  If you set the "Ext. Comm" in the instrument on "Set" then you can set SurvCE under Equip / Total
Station to "Manufacturer: Sokkia" and "Model: Set 30R/30RK..." to run in "Sokkia Emulation" mode
