Load the FRT and freecode files into the TS15

You can load FRT format file and freecodes into TS15 (Leica Viva) instruments. This allows you to use the instruments to input data to Surpac 6.2 and later versions.

The format file and freecodes are located in the SSI_ETC: directory, in the Leica_TS15.zip file. To load these to the TS15, you unzip the Surpac folders and transfer the files into the folders on a USB or SD card. You then transfer the files and freecodes from the storage device to the TS15 instrument.
