8.1.3Firmware Update

When new firmware (or software) is available for the Leica Geosystems GS20, the update will normally be provided on compact flash media. If however the file is delivered in another format, (e.g. E-mail or ftp) it will need to be copied to compact flash in order to perform the upgrade.

Tip: It is advisable to load firmware files directly onto a compact flash via a card reader in order to avoid possible sensor transfer checksum errors.

8.1.4Sensor Transfer

Sensor Transfer is used to transfer files between Leica Geosystems GIS DataPRO and the Leica Geosystems GS20 via serial cable or bluetooth. Sensor Transfer provides the ability to choose the port (Port1 or Bluetooth), define the port settings (i.e. baud, parity, bits, etc.) and accept any changes.

Tip: Device setting are available via the context menu.

Remember: Because of the exclusive nature of Sensor Transfer, all other applications must be shutdown before beginning a transfer.
