Warning: It is not recommended that Bluetooth communication be
used while logging GPS data to use for post processing. This scenario
requires constant and reliable communications between the data
collector and the receiver, which can only occur when using a
communication cable.
Bluetooth Setup in Windows
This section describes how to enable Bluetooth in Windows and create
a partnership with the device the data collector will communicate
with.
Bluetooth can only be used when the data collector and peripheral
hardware have Bluetooth built in and the hardware is explicitly
supported by Survey Pro.
Activate Bluetooth in Windows
Bluetooth must be enabled on the data collector before it can be used.
1. Exit Survey Pro if it is running to return to the Windows
operating system.
2. From Windows, tap > Settings > Connections >
Bluetooth
> Mode and check the Turn on Bluetooth
checkbox. (It is not necessary to check the Make this
device discoverable…
checkbox unless you want other
devices to be able to detect your data collector for
non-data collecting functions.)
Discover and Bond with New Bluetooth Devices
Before you can use any Bluetooth peripheral with Survey
Pro for the first time, the device must be paired with the
data collector.
1. Exit Survey Pro if it is running to return to the
Windows operating system.
2. Power on your peripheral hardware and be sure
Bluetooth is activated and discoverable on that
device. Also be sure you have the Bluetooth passkey available if
applicable.
