Case 1: Recovering Field Data
After a long day of topographical surveying, the surveyor connects the Sokkia SET 530 to the office laptop via a 7-pin to 9-pin serial cable. ProLink 1.15 is launched, and the data is downloaded at 9600 baud to a .GSI file, ready for plotting in AutoCAD Civil 3D. Sokkia prolink version 1.15
Case 2: Staking Out from CAD
Coordinates from a design drawing are exported as a .TXT file. Using ProLink 1.15, the user uploads these points into the total station’s job memory, allowing the field crew to begin layout without manual key entry. Need the height to a power line or a cliff edge
