Land Surveyor

Hi, I have been using my New TCRP1205+ robotically with my controller RX1250 for a month now, It was already set up to communicate with each other on same channel when I got it, and then today when I switched my RX1250 ( after Gun) on, it went on to a unfamiliar screen showing options to connect it either to GPS or TCR, I choose TCR and It went to the standard main menu but it showed different settings, like dif prizim type  to that of my TCRP and it did not change anything when I pressed on the RX, the funny thing is that the light at the top of TCRP hand held antenna was showing it was communicating, the bars light was red and the com light (two opposing arrows) was flashing. I tried to set it with no luck to link the two. Please help.

    I fixed it, what did without knowing (via touch screen) I selected SmartWorx icon when the RX1250 was booting up in it windows page, had to exit SmartWorx (its used to become a data logger for GPS and TPS) and go into Terminal program. To exit you have to press the X button on right corner via touchscreen.

      I Corrected the Grammar

      I fixed it, what I did without knowing (via touch screen) I selected SmartWorx icon when the RX1250 was booting up in its windows page, had to exit SmartWorx program (it is used to turn the RX1250 into a data logger for GPS and TPS) and go into Terminal icon program. To exit SmarWorx you have to press the X button on right corner via touchscreen.

      You will know you are in the Smartworx program by noticing these few things 1. the fist sign is that it will show a unfamiliar screen giving you a option between using the RX1200 controller with a GPS or a TCR. 2. there is a satellite symbol ( I-o-I ) next to the time. 3. the screens will look similar (instrument and handheld) but its not responsive (not mirror image, but separate programs), 3. The worst is that on top of your TCR the "Handheld Radio" the lights will indicate it is connected and sending data but its not showing it is connected by the radio on the screens.
