This is in regards to using a Nikon Nivo instrument
!!! 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"
5) If Bluetooth is supported there will be a "Port" option you can set to "Serial" or "Bluetooth"
6) When set to "Serial" you can use Baud = 1200 / 8 / None / 1
7) Menu / 3 Settings / 8 Rec
8) Set "Data Rec." to "Comm" {the other option is "Internal"}
***SurvCE 2.60 settings***
1) Tap the Equip tab then tap "Total Station"
2) Set the Manufacturer to "Nikon" and set the Model to "Nivo C" or "Nivo M"
3) Tap the Comms tab and set it up for:
Type: Cable {If your instrument supports it you can set this to "Bluetooth"}
Port: Com1
Baud: 1200 / Data Bits: 8 / Parity: None / Stop Bits: 1
