I recently upgraded from SuvCe 2.09 to 2.5. I use it with a Topcon Hiper+ system. I had to log some static files for the first time in several months. I have always logged the files thru survCe and have never had any issues doing this in 5 years.
Upon getting back and downloading the files Topcon Tools would not process them and told me they where an invalid file format. This was from my Rover files on the Hiper + as well as my base file on the GB-500.
I contacted Hayes Instrument and there support. I logged some test files
one using the minter on the Hiper +; one starting the file from Survce and stopping with the minter and one starting and stopping from survCE.
The only file I was able to open in Tools was the one started and stopped from the Minter. Hayes was able to open the second test file but not the last.
Hayes has sent the issue on to Topcon and Carlson and hopefully a quick and solid fix will be coming shortly.
In the mean time test your recievers if you plan on running static before you head out if you are running 2.5
I am and avid carlson fan and user but feel this is something that should have been found in the lab and not the field.
