BLUETOOTH ADAPTER FOR TOPCON

What model topcon? What arethe details ?ÿon the BT adapter? Maybe there is a PIN needed.?ÿ

GTS-255. USED THE 1234 PIN AND IT IS THEN RECOGNIZED IN THE DATA COLLECTOR BUT WON'T HOOK INTO THE TOTAL STATION. CHANGED COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS IN TS BUT STILL NO CONNECT.

We found that a null modem was needed in line with the instrument, and there was no need for the null modem inline with the DC.?ÿ We run the 8000 series.?ÿ Hope that helps.

I FINALLY SOLVED THE ISSUE AND WANTED TO SHARE MY INFORMATIONTO BENEFIT OTHERS SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS I DID WORKING WITH THE LIMITED INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED. ATTACHED IS A PHOTO OF THE ADAPTER NOW FINALLY IT PAIRED TO A TOPCON GTS-255 SERIAL PORT. THE ADAPTER YOU SELL HAS COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS OF 9600 BAUD, 8, N, AND 1 STOP BIT. YOU SHOULD IIDENTIFY THAT TO PROSPECTIVE BUYERS. THIS CREATES THE NEED TO CHANGE THE RS-232 SETTINGS IN THE TOPCON TO THOSE PARAMETERS. ADDITIONALLY, ONE MUST PAIR THE SOFTWARE (WINDOWS CE IN MY CASE) WITH THE BLUETOOTH AND IDENTIFY A SERIAL PAIRING USING THE PASSWORD 1234 IF PROMPTED. MY DATA COLLECTORS NEVER REALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PAIRING BUT THE ADAPTER DOES APPEAR AND IS RECOGNIZED IN THE LISTING OF BLUETOOTH DEVICES. MY DATA COLLECTORS HAVE SERIAL PORTS FOR THE CABLE. IF YOU USE A WINDOWS 10 BASED DATA COLLECTOR WITHOUT A SERIAL PORT, YOU WILL LIKELY NEED TO GET A VIRTUAL PORT SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD.

I PURCHASED THIS UNIT OFF OF EBAY FOR ABOUT $50.00 OUT OF CHINA.

FINALLY, THE SCREEN ON THE DATA COLLECTOR NEEDS TO BE IN ACTIVE HORIZONAL VERTICAL MEASUREMENT MODE VERSUS SAY MENU MODE IN ORDER TO SYNC.?ÿ

SPENT ALOT OF TIME SCREWING AROUND WITH THIS THING AS ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE THE CASE WITH SURVEYING HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE. I WISH STEVE JOBS HAD BEEN A SURVEYOR, ALTHOUGH HIM BRINGING GPS INTO A CELL PHONE BENEFITTED THE SURVEYING INDUSTRY TREMENDOUSLY.
