The topic provides information about transferring data between the system and Nikon instruments that utilise the AP-700 survey data management.

Transferring data from the Nikon Instrument

Note that the system does not perform the download of data from the Nikon equipment as this is carried out by Nikon software (NS-95 Database Utility). Please refer to your Nikon documentation.

Once you have the raw data file downloaded, it is necessary to open the file in a text editor and add the following record at the start.

  2. Use the Output/Data Recorder command to send the co-ordinates from the system to the Nikon Equipment.
