Leica TCR1105>Strange happenings

I've used my Leica tcr 1105 for a number of years now and fell like I've pretty good handle on its use and abilities.

Yesterday, while attempting to stake some lines I did my usual "translate coordinates" command, and then "Rotate Coordinates." Translate went fine, traverse and record for the chosen point matched fine, but when I rotate the angle changes but NOT to the "new" bearing. Each time I did it the bearing would change, but not to the "new" bearing....

One other odd thing yesterday is that when I shoot I am not prompted for a rod height AFTER the shot. I verified that I did have that toggle checked, and it does prompt for the description (another toggle that I have turned on).

I'm not sure if there is an angle locked in the gun somewhere that I can't find or what the issue might be. I was unable to determine if the angular difference was a constant change or variable. That will be my next investigation.

Any clues?

It sounds like it could be a Data Collector issue also. Have you "hardbooted" everything already? I would save everything you have first and then hard boot the DC first. See if that does the trick. If not, then I would fall back to the Robot. But typically if I have issues with Robots it's 9 times out of 10 the DC.

Good Luck.

I have no input on your dilemma, just wanted to express my support for the Swiss 😀

If I knew how to re-set the DC I would re-set it... With this instrument the DC is onboard.

Leica TCR1105>does anyone know how to reboot this?

Foggyidea,

The Leica instrument does not have a reset. Each time the instrument is turned on the system loads the operating system and programs.

I am wondering if you are using TDS on-board or the Leica applications. I would think you are probably using the TDS on-board because you mentioned that you have it set to prompt for rod height after the measurement.

The only thing I can think of is to uninstall the TDS program and then reinstall it. I cannot remember if you need to renter the license key for TDS on-board if you uninstall it or not. Allot of people have been running the TDS on-baord for years and then when they need to enter the license key again they cannot find the documentation.

Let me know if you are running the TDS on-board and I can post a step by step on the uninstall and install. I also have the latest version of the TDS On-Board if you need the files again.

1. Let me know if this is an 1100 Plus series - I have the TDS on-board version 4.40
2. Make sure you habve your license key
3. The version of the TDS on-board has a standard version and a pro version - I have them both

It may be that the software just needs a fresh install.

Thanks for the response. You're right, I am running TDS on a 1105. I have a n appointment and may take it to the shop next week. It appears to be working correctly now though. I may have inadvertently fixed something the other day when I was running through ALL the options onboard.

@surveythemark?ÿ

Would be awesome if we could please get those virtually non-existent TDS / TDS-PRO files in case we need to reinstall, internal backup battery replacement and/or firmware upgrade etc. (Can someone please contact Mark if you can?)

Anyone know how to extract the KEYS from the unit before doing so? Obviously since Leica won't help, any other way?

Thank you so much!
