Sokkia SDR-22 Default Settings.

(This functionality is available with the Input / Output module)

The default communications settings are designed to work effectively if the SDR-22 is set up as follows.

COMS SETTING
Speed 4800
Parity Not set
Word Length 8
Acoustic N
Formatc ASCII

To set these parameters on the SDR 22 use the "Comms setup" function. Refer to the SDR -22 documentation for further detailed instructions.

If the cable from the SDR-22 to the computer has a cable connector switch, it must be set to DTE.

Transferring data from the SDR 22

Ensure that you have carried out the appropriate steps in the procedure for Processing a Field Survey up to the step for initiating the transfer of the data. Then, to initiate the transfer, carry out the following on the SDR-22.

  1. Press the MENU key.
  2. Press the down arrow key until "Comms output" is displayed.
  3. Press the ENTER key.
  4. At the "Send all jobs?" prompt, press the NOTE key.
  5. Use the down arrow key until the required job name is displayed.
  6. Press the ENTER key to commence the data transfer.

Transferring co-ordinate data to the SDR 22

Use the Output/Data Recorder command to put the system in a ready state to send co-ordinates to the SDR-22. A dialog box should be displayed asking if the data recorder is ready to receive data. Then, to place the SDR-22 in a ready state, carry out the following on the SDR-22.

  1. Press the MENU key.
  2. Press the down arrow key until "Comms input" is displayed.
  3. Press the ENTER key and the SDR-22 will display "Receiving...".

Then select the OK button in the dialog box to commence the data transfer. The job created in the SDR-22 with the transferred data will have the same name as the data base from which the co-ordinates were transferred.

NOTE: Due to limitations in the field size in the SDR data recorders, co-ordinates must be 10 characters or less and point identifiers must be four digits or less. Therefore, if the co-ordinates or point identifiers in the data base exceed these sizes, it will be necessary to apply an offset when uploading to the SDR-22. Refer to the Output/Data Recorder command.

E.g. -123456.789 (illegal co-ordinate)
123456.789 (legal co-ordinate)
-12345.678 (legal co-ordinate)
1234 (legal point identifier)
12345 (illegal point identifier)
