To select a third-party total station
In addition to supported Trimble instruments, you can carry out a conventional survey when connected to a total station made by one of the following manufacturers:
- Leica
 - Nikon
 - Pentax
 - Sokkia
 - Spectra Geospatial
 - Topcon

When using third-party instruments, you must disable auto‑connect. Some commands used by auto‑connect can interfere with the communication of third-party instruments. See Auto‑connect settings.
