How to load firmware on your Leica GS14 GNSS, Leica CS15 Controller or Leica TS15 Total Station
Loading Firmware to GNSS GS14 receiver
**Prior to starting: Make sure the battery is fully charged in the GNSS receiver**
- Copy the Viva GNSS file GS14+WinCE_v8.00.fw to the System folder on a Micro SD Card and insert into GS14.
- Connect to CS15 as normal and go to Windows by selecting Fn and back arrow. From the Windows screen run the program Webserver(BT).
- Tap the User Menu icon then click on Load Firmware.
- Tick the 2 boxes at the bottom labelled ".fw file on GS SD Card" and "I have read and agree to the legal agreement".
- Tick the GREEN + Load new firmware.
Firmware should now be loading and it will take about 10 minutes and then it will notify you to refresh the page and then close down Webserver BT and go back to Viva.
After a few more minutes the CS15 and GS14 should connect via Bluetooth but you will likely get a message saying incompatible firmware. This is fine.
GIVE THIS PLENTY OF TIME DO NOT POWER DOWN OR CLOSE TOO SOON.
