4) MicroSurvey will then prompt you for the brand of data collector you wish to upload to and lets you browse to select the directory the file
you just created is stored. The following dialogue boxes illustrate the Instrument Type, Directory and File name I used for this example.

If you want to change the download directory, select the Browse For Directory button and the following dialogue box will appear and allow you to change the directory. Simply browse to the appropriate directory and select OK. This will return you to the Download Dialogue Box pictured above.

5) Select OK (In the Uploading Dialogue Box) and the following dialogue box will appear: If the current parameters are correct,
select Upload button.

If not, you can change the parameters by selecting Change Current Parameters Button and select the appropriate parameters for your instrument.

6) Once you have pressed the Upload button, the box shown below describes what keys must be pressed on the Topcon in order
to start receiving the desired data files from MicroSurvey.

7) Select the Start Sending Data Now button and the following box will appear.

You can see the data is sent by the computer to the Topcon 210/310.

The Upload is now complete. If you are using the Assistant, you will return to the Assistant.
