Data Recorder
The following data recorders are supported for data upload of points:
Sokkia SDR2
Sokkia SDR33
Geodimeter 600
This is IMPORTANT, if the program tries to send say SDR2 data to a Geodimeter, it will probably get gibberish or nothing.
New Job
For Sokkia data recorders only:
If the 'New Job' option is ticked this creates a NEW JOB in the SDR and the SDR will automatically set that job to records heights on observations.
If the 'New Job' option is not ticked, you should manually create the job in the SDR and also you can optionally set the SDR up so that it will either record heights or not record heights. If no job name is sent, the points data is added to the existing job you have open in the SDR. This allows you add new data to the same job in the SDR.
This is the only way to upload data to a Sokkia data recorder to a job with no height values.
Include Heights
Tick this box to send height values (where available) on points sent to the data recorder.
