Where are you surveying?

Land Surveyor

Hello. Ā I just purchased an old Allegro with Carlson Surv CE version 1.67. Ā I am trying to sync it with a Leica 703 TCR. Ā  I am using a cable. Ā The cable is approximately one year old. Ā I've put in the correct comm settings per Carlson and I'm not having any luck. Ā  I've been on the phone with Carlson tech. and we couldn't get it to work. Ā Can anyone on here offer any advise? Ā Thanks.

      Hello Valery.

      Thanks for your response.

      I don't remember any particular error message. Ā I'd have to hook it all up again and see. Ā I would try to take a backsite reading and basically there was no response at all from the instrument. Ā  The Allegro would not trigger any activity whatsoever when connecting, trying to take a measurement, nothing.

  • This is a direct copy from their knowledge base. I know 2.58 is a higher build number...but they kept most all the settings from the 1.67.

    Try to get a hold of Brian Hammer....he's the TS guru. If you do get to him...tell him Rob Rosa said hey. He usually solves my issues in under 5 mins.
