1 Connect S4II Data Collector to PC
Before setting up your data collector to survey, it is important to synchronize your data collector with your PC
1. Install Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC)
WMDC for Windows 64 bit

WMDC for Windows 32bit

If you are using Windows 10, the system could not see the S4II (or any other Windows CE device) because of a
Microsoft bug. However, by installing Stonex Cube-link (free from Stonex), the setup will fix the problem by adjusting
some entries into the Windows registry.
2. Once you have installed WMDC, next install Cube-link (free from Stonex), and then reboot your PC.
Alternatively, at the command prompt (with administrator rights) type the two commands (one row at a time
followed by ENTER):
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RapiMgr /v SvcHostSplitDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WcesComm /v SvcHostSplitDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
These rows fix the Windows 10 bug. Reboot after entering them.
3. After rebooting, connect the S4II to the PC using the USB cable, and run Windows Mobile Device Center.
4. WMDC should now be able to discover and connect to the device.
5. When you plug your data collector into the computer, WMDC should attempt to connect to the device. If WMDC is
not triggered by the cable being plugged in, you may need to reboot your PC.
6. If SurvCE is not already installed on your device, please refer to the following Carlson Document:
