ActiveSync
®
and Windows Mobile
®
Device Center (WMDC) provide an easy way to
synchronize data on a Windows-based computer with your FOCUS 30 Total Sta-
tion. ActiveSync works on computers that have Windows XP or earlier operating
systems. WMDC
works only on computers that have Windows Vista
®
or Windows 7.
ActiveSync and WMDC act as gateways between y
our device and your computer for
transferring data. You can also use the Explore feature in either program to move files
or programs from your computer to your device.
ActiveSync is already integrated into the op
erating system on the Spectra Precision
FOCUS 30 Total Station. However, you must install ActiveSync or WMDC depend-
ing on your computers operating system. You can download the current version of
Act
iveSync or WMDC from:

(one fe
wer step per connection).
