From the Support Desk:
A SurvCE HINT
Saving Your Instrument Configuration Will Save You Time! Are you tired of having to enter the configuration for your total
station yet again? Well, you can save your configurations so that you can
simply load them up when you are using a different  instrument. For instance,
if I usually use my total station, but today I will be using our GPS equipment,
I can find the configuration that I want in the Current tab of Instrument Setup. I just click Load and I am off and running with the new configuration. Keep in
mind that each configuration will need to be preset by you. Just set up the
configuration the way you like and click Save. You will be prompted to give it
a name so that you can easily pick it out from your other configurations. --Brian Hammer

"This GPS system allowed us right off the bat to increase our density," says Len Necaise, District Manager, Advanced Disposal. "One of the things we really like about Carlson," he adds, "is that if we need something, [they] are willing to change it to make it more productive, more efficient for us."

Carlson Software for FREE Tech Support
Yes, you heard that right. Carlson's tech support is not only free, but it's good and renowned in the business. Here's what just a few of our customers have to say about Carlson support. "You guys at Carlson are the best at customer support and I really appreciate it." --Dennis Fenton, Land Surveyor
Winchester, Va.
"My contouring problem... was resolved by Carlson Support. They use 'Go to Meeting' software and actually look at and manipulate your
screen.
We went through three levels of support right up to Dave Carlson. Every level
of support was 110 percent professional. If the tech could not resolve the
problem he acknowledged it and passed it upward.
Carlson's tech support is the best of any support I have ever received from any
software company!" --Philip Reed
Reed Surveying & GPS
Scarborough, Maine
"Thank you for your prompt response ...I can't tell you how much it means to have your kind of support. From the stupid questions to the
hard ones, you're always there with a professional reply and answer to the
problem, and we do appreciate it." --Reg Parker
Royal River Survey Company
