Software upload All instrument software is stored in the System RAM of the instrument. The software
can be uploaded onto the instrument using the following methods:
•
Using LGO the software is transferred via the serial interface to the Compact-
Flash card in the instrument, which is then stored to the System RAM.
• By connecting the CompactFlash card directly to the computer either via an
internal card slot housing or an external OMNI drive, the software is transferred
to the card, which is then stored to the System RAM.
Application
programs A suite of optional survey-specific application programs are
available for the instrument.
Some of the programs are activated freely and require no licence
key and others require purchasing and are only activated with a
licence key.
Customised
