To perform measurement or stakeout tasks, you need the Siteworks software running on a controller that is connected to a positioning device. This chapter explains how to set up and use SPS Series total stations with the Siteworks software. Many of these controls will be the same when connecting to an SX10 or SX12 scanning total station. See Using the SX12 scanning total station for more information on working with an SX12 scanning total station.

Starting with Siteworks version 1.30, total station support is available on Android operating systems.
