How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.
We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.

I ran into this same problem with a Carlson Surveyor + DC. The handshake between WMDC and the DC was lost when I added a different DC to WMDC. I had to terminate the old DC through the Windows Device Manager. Look under the usb ports for the yellow triangle and uninstall that device . I then started a new relationship. You have to keep track of which usb port you use for each devise or you have to uninstall and start all over again. WMDC keeps track of the port addresses for each device.
Scott, that sounds reasonable, but what if you have several crews and several data collectors, how would you download all of them? I couldn't see any yellow triangle under the USB ports....
PC connections are supposed to be what? I have windows mobile and of course the controller turns on automatically when i plug the cable into it.....believe me I have tried everything but I thinks it is something small and stupid on my part....thanks...
