Just received a CS20 and TS16 to use at work.
Will I be able to connect the CS20 to any of our GNSS receivers? We have GS14 and GS15.
Will it depend on the firmware on the receivers?
Thanks, I have been unable to find this info online.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, it's gonna depend on the software in the collector. iow- does it have the gps module installed or not? If so, it'll work fine if you set it up and get your subscriptions etc.
Ran a cs20 with gs14 no problem.

I think GPS module is enabled. This is from Leica MyWorld -
Squowse,
The CS20 will work with any of the GS models. They just need to be running the correct versions. If the CS20 is running Captivate v2.0 or higher then the GS needs to be running SmartWorx Viva v6.0 or higher. If the CS20 running anything lower then the GS needs to be running a version higher than v5.6 and lower than v6.0. This is according to the release notes for Captivate v2.2
Thanks I didn't see that in the release notes. I'll check the firmware versions on the receivers on Monday. All the CS15 controllers were updated to latest version of Viva so presumably the did the receivers as well. On version 1.30 of Captivate but hoping to get it updated to 2.20

I would recommend the update. I just started with Captivate at v2.13 but it looks like they are making a lot of improvements with each update.
Yes hopefully the survey manager will agree.
With my own equipment and software I always pay for the updates.
Like John said, there are no problems connecting CS20 to GS14*/15 if the firmwares are compatible. For GS08 you need an RTK license on the controller, for the rest of the GS receivers this license is not necessary, you pay for it when you purchase the GNSS receiver.
* You can connect the CS20 with Captivate v2 or higher to GS14, if the GS14 is purchased before the GS16 and upgraded GS15 (555 channels) came out, because they disabled this option after that. The serial number on the receiver must be below 3129000.
