Datalogger: Which Datalogger can I connect to the FlexLine instrument ?

Theoretically all Datalogger can be used. Of course the new Leica dataloggers CS10 and CS15 has been
tested in depth. However it also has been tested with various other models like Leica Rx1250, and DX10
and some others and all of them worked well.
1.32 Datalogger: How do I setup a Bluetooth connection from Datalogger to the FlexLine
instrument?
1. First you need to switch on the Bluetooth on the instrument (MAIN MENU SETTINGS 
COMMUNICATIONSSelect "Bluetooth" or "Automatically")
2. Then start on the Datalogger a BLUETOOTH SEARCH. The instrument (in the example a TS02-7" with S.
No. 1234567) will be found with it's type and serial number (TS02-7_1234567).
2. On the Datalogger you can then select to "PAIR" the devices and then you will be asked to enter a
Bluetooth PIN. The Bluetooth PIN of the FlexLine is configurable, but by default set to "0000". Enter the
PIN and proceed.
2. The instrument will show a message that an external device is trying to connect to the instrument and
you need to press YES to allow the connection.
4. The Datalogger will assign a virtual COM port and informs you about the port number (e.g. COM6)
5. Open the Datalogger software that allows to steer the Total Station (landscaping SW, Architect SW,...)
and select in this software in the SETTINGS the assigned virtual COM port (e.g. COM6)
6. Start working...

Leica Viva: Does the Leica Viva Software supports FlexLine instruments ?

Yes, you can use the Leica Viva software running on CS10/15 to control the FlexLine Total Station.
All Viva applications can be used to communicate with the sensor
1.34

Backup: Can I use a generated BACKUP on different instruments ?

Yes, you can backup the data of a TS09 on the USB stick and then import the backup on a TS02. If the
backup is imported to the same instrument as exported then also the settings are applied. If transferred
to another unit, differing in S.No. or type then only Fixpoints and measurements are imported as some of
the settings might not be applied due to different hardware. But please be aware when making a backup
of the data on an instrument with a different firmware version as the one you want to upload – this
might not work – dependent whether the database structure has changed.

Motorization/Full Windows CE; Why did you not include them ?

Both features would add significant costs to all instruments – even just to foresee them as an option.
These costs mainly refer to hardware such as a different processor with a higher performance, as well as
more and faster internal memory. For WinCE, higher licence fees would have to be applied as well. Both
features are available in the High-end Total Stations and there are currently no plans to introduce them
into FlexLine.
1.36 Internal Backup battery: How long does the internal battery storing measurement values,
lasts ?
The backup battery lasts for about 1 year - however depending from the storage temperature. The
battery is recharged automatically when the instrument is switched on.
