Introduction
The PC Simulator for Leica Viva CS allows users to simulate SmartWorx Viva
(or SmartWorx Viva LT) running on a CS10 or CS15 controller. The simulator
runs the software as if it was an actual controller, meaning it can be used for
training, support, demonstrations and even to create/test settings (e.g. for the
creation of working styles and RTK profiles).

Installation
Installation is an uncomplicated process; the following steps should be used:

FAQs

Q.1.
How can I check if I have the right .Net framework installed?
A.1.
To view what .Net framework is installed on a computer enter into:
Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and scroll down this list
looking for “Microsoft .NET Framework x.x”, the x.x will be the version
of .NET framework installed. For the simulator to perform correctly
version 2.0 or higher is needed.

If the computer does not have at least version 2.0 then the latest
versions can be downloaded and installed from www.microsoft.com

Q.2.
Can I configure the Simulator to:
 Run SmartWorx Viva or SmartWorx Viva LT?
 Be a CS10 or CS15?
A.2.
Yes, the simulator can be set to run as either a CS10 or a CS15, it can
also be set into Lite (LT) Mode, the steps for this are described below:

1. Begin the Simulator software…

2. Once the simulator has opened (but before turning it on) select:
Configuration > CS Data Logger Settings

3. In the CS Data Logger Settings panel the CS model can be


selected, here it is also possible to select if the simulator should
run the in Lite mode.

Once these settings have been configured as desired the simulator can
be turned on and the CS model and Viva mode will be as selected.

Q.3.
Can I simulate TPS measurements with the simulator?
A.3.
Yes, simulated TPS measurement data can be entered into the
simulator to be used to recreate measurements, allow screenshots,
training & make tests, the steps for this are described below:

1. Begin the Simulator software…

2. Once the simulator has opened (but before turning it on) select:
Configuration > TPS Meas Data Input

3. In the TPS Meas Data Input panel the make sure that “TPS
Simulation Enabled” is ticked, then press “Apply” and “Close”

Once this setting has been configured the simulator can be turned on
and TPS measurement data can be entered in the TPS Meas Data
Input panel and seen on the simulator itself

Note: If the simulated TPS measurement data does not get displayed,
follow the troubleshooting steps below:
1. Begin the Simulator software, without powering it on
2. Enter into the TPS Meas Data Input panel and tick the box
3. Press Apply followed by Close
4. Close the Simulator program
5. Reopen the Simulator program
6. Power on the Simulator

Q.4.
Can I simulate GPS measurements with the simulator?
A.4.
No, there is no way to simulate GPS measurements or view replay
GPS data in the simulator – only TPS data can be simulated
