1.24 Active Sync: How do I setup a connection between the PC and the Total Station with the USB
Cable?
In order to get the USB Mini Cable running, you need to do the following steps:
1. Install Microsoft Active Sync if you using Windows XP or in case you are using Windows Vista the install
Microsoft Mobile Device Center
Both programs are available at the Microsoft webpage or on the Leica download Area or on the TPS
instruments CD coming along with each FlexLine Total Station (Folder:..\Tools\Microsoft\)
2. Then connect the cable with the PC and the Total Station and switch on the Total Station.
2. The Windows Wizard will inform you that a new device has been found and asks you to provide the
driver for the device. The required driver is available on the Leica Download area or on the TPS
Instruments CD (Folder: ...\Tools\Driver\FlexLine USB). Follow the wizard and finish driver installation. In
case a message appears that the driver is not certified by Microsoft, please continue by clicking OK.
After installation you should be able to browse via Active Sync through the instrument memory, but the
main purpose of the cable is the fast and reliable data transfer when using FlexOffice.

"Quadruple axis compensation" : What does it mean?

Quadruple axis compensation means two axis compensation combined with Hz collimation and V index
correction. Please be aware that it is not a quadruple-axis/4-axis

Pointmemory: How many points can be stored on FlexLine instruments?

First of all we must differentiate between Measurements and Fixpoints. Measurements contain much
more data than a Fixpoint (PtID, East, North, Height) so the number of possible Measurements stored is
always lower than the number of possible Fixpoints. Furthermore any change of EDM settings is also
stored with Measurements, and thus the number of Measurements able to be stored can vary.
TS02: Max. 24`000 Fixpoints, corresponding to max. 13`500 measurements
TS06/09: Max. 100`000 Fixpoints, corresponding to max. 60`000 measurements

USB Stick: Are USB memory sticks other than the original Leica USB Sticks supported?

Yes, any USB memory stick is supported, however we recommend to use only original Leica accessories in
order to obtain maximum performance and data security. Whenever you plug in any other USB memory
stick a message informs you that a non-Leica USB Memory stick has been inserted.

USB Stick: Why is the Leica USB Stick more expensive as standard USB sticks?

The Leica USB Stick is an "industrial-grade" USB memory stick and fulfils the high Leica quality standards
in order to guarantee maximum data-safety. The stick is designed to be operated in tough conditions,
which is reflected, for example, in the operating temperature range from -40°C up to +85°C (-40°F- +
185°F).

USB Stick: What is the maximum supported USB memory Stick capacity?

At the moment all available memory sizes are supported – even >100GB.
1.30 Data Storage: When measuring, where is the data stored – in the internal memory or the
USB memory stick?
The data is always stored in the internal memory. The transfer to the USB memory stick must be done
afterwards.
compensator – it is compensation.
