1. Introduction

This manual explains how to connect Nikon Total Stations and external devices by

serial interface. About hardware and communication software necessary to the

connection are briefly described as well.

2. Interface system

The interface is directed by RS-232C. External devices must have a RS-232C port.

3. Connecter

with the communication.

!!!CAUTION!!!

- Connection to the instrument side must follow the pin assignment above.

Misconnection may result in malfunctioning.

- By connecting RS-232C communication signal from external device and GND

to the pin #1,#2, and #5 on instrument side, the external device can be

download/upload data to the instrument.

- Electricity can be provided through pin #3 and #5 on the instrument, even if

the clip-on battery is mounted. The rated apparent power is DC7.2-11V (4.5

V to 5.2 V for Nivo only), Max 1A. Not to use the out-of-range power; it may

result in malfunctioning.

5. Nikon Communication commands

5-1. Protocol

“Protocol” is a set of rules applied to the communication in order to receive/send data securely.

It is independent from contents of receiving/sending data.

- SOH (01h): Header; Start of the communication

- Sender/Receiver codes: T: Instrument (Total Station)

R: Data Recorder

C: Other external device Ex.) When sending data from an external device to the instrument, the code

becomes ‘CT’. If outputting data from instrument to an external device, it is ‘TC’.

ACK = 06h: Permission of communication or success in transmission.

NAK = 15h: Failure in transmission (= request for re-send)

* ACK/NAK control-code doesn’t need STX and ETX.

Confidential


- BCC: consists of 1-byte characters.

BCC= (S MOD 40h) + 20h (h = hex)

“S” in above formulae is the lower one byte of the total sum from “Sender

code” to “ETX” (=before BCC). “BCC” can be any value between 20h and

5Fh

* Compare the BCC in the received data and the calculated value.

If they are the same, the communication was successfully done.

- EOT: Trailer; End of the communication

The “CR/LF” is added at the end.

EOT = 04h

CR = 0dh

LF = 0ah

5-2. Procedures

- When instrument receives a block of data, BCC is checked and ACK is to be returned if the

block was successfully received. NAK is to be returned if an error is reported.

- If a NAK is received by the instrument, then the last block is to be resent by the instrument,

however, the count of NAK is not checked by the instrument, therefore, it is

recommendable to stop sending data by external devices side in such a case in order to

avoid any trouble which may be triggered in the hardware.

- No reply (ACK) is required to ACK/NAK.

5-3. Commands/Data format

Three types of commands are available;

a) Remote control command: Change function. Most commands do not follow any data output.

b) Data set command: Set instrument settings such as temperature, pressure etc. No data output follows.

c) Data output command: Output measured data, setting data etc. Follows data output.

Keyword

Remote control command “$”

Data set command “!”

Data output command: “?”

Each command consists of a keyword, three characters. Parameters are added when necessary.

Keyword($/!/?)

Char-1 Char-2 Char-3 Parameter…

An asterisk is added in front of the keyword when the extended command is to be used.

6. Communication for SET type Data Recorder

There are three commands prepared for SET.

a) START command (11H): When an instrument receives the START command (11H) from

SET data recorder, it starts measuring and sends SD, VA, HA for every measurement until

receiving END command (12H).

b) END command (12H) : Cancel the START command.

c) DATA command (00H) : When an instrument receives the DATA command (00H), it

sends the latest data of SD, VA, HA regardless of current situation.

* In case of EDM OFF, DTM-500 sends the last measured data of SD, VA, HA after it receives

START or DATA command.
