Adding Custom Instrument
Type
Each Total Station has unique parameters. These parameters are
viewable but non-editable in the TS Instruments window
. However,
you are able to add a user-defined instrument type(s) to the TS
Instruments window, to display, to edit and to remove the instrument
from the window. The custom instrument is stored in the user's folder
and is saved after updating the version of the software. You can add a
new instrument type in the Instrument Type tab
of the Properties
window for the left panel of the TS Obs tab

Click the Add button
to open the New Custom TS Instrument
