Hi All got a question from Martin,
I am having major problems trying to get my PDA to pick up information from the DistoX.
The Bluetooth connection seems to set up fine, that is the PDA and DistoX actually register a connection when they are both on, ie the DistoX bluetooth icon flashes and the DistoX icon on the PDA goes green and the connection appears in the active connection window.
However the problem arises when I try to make measurments. When I press the Dist button on the DistoX I get the lazer, moving it around causes the compass and clino to vary but the distance reads ---. Press the button and the distance it locks in on is displayed along with the compass and clino. But different from the Disto X instructions the reading counter to the left of the compass reading does not increase, but remains at zero.
No numbers appear on the PocketTopo display and when looking at the status of the Bluetooth connection there is zero bytes of information transefered or received. I am using COM6, as some one with an identical PDA has got that to work, but have gone through all of them.
Any advice would be very welcome as I am suspecting that there is a fault in the DistoX at the moment.
Thanks in advanced,
Martin Groves
