Can anyone here tell me why Carlson supports spectra focus 10 within survce....but without the ability to change prism constants? There is only a selection of prismless or prism and there isn't a way to click on the settings to customize the constant. Worthless.
I think this is the same for SurvCE and Trimble 5600 and Geodimeters. You need the keyboard CU on the total station and change the PC's there. SurvCE does appear to change PC's for Leica instruments.

Yep. Very strange that other mfr's PC's cannot be done- I always assumed it was consistent with SurvCE across the board.
The only superior evidence is that which you haven't yet found.
Actually it depends on the Total Station not SurvCE
I'm running FOIF OTS650 and i have to change the prism properties from the gun first, whereas for OTS680 i can do it via SurvCE.

Yes, and I don't think it is because of 3rd party inability to "decipher" the Trimble 5600 - I have SurvCE and FieldGenius (FG) on the same controller, and FG can control the PC's and also the electronic bubble, which SurvCE (v3) cannot. However, I can't get FG to work fully with a Geodimeter, so I use SurvCE (with a keyboard CU on the instrument to control PC and the electronic bubble).
The instrument could just be set to prism constant zero and the controller could do the necessary adjustment of the slope distance.
Not sure why they haven't implemented this.
