The DSRConversion^TM is a replacement for DSR electronics. It is compatible with existing mapping software that work with the original BC3 electronics as well as with the Leica Mapping Terminal (LMT) electronics. A real-time processor interacts with AC10 controllers that connect with the drives and all other parts of the instrument. Analog tacho signals are no longer used to drive the motors. Instead, it uses digital signals at a rate of 1000Hz. This improves driving characteristics and eliminates the need for analog adjustments of the drive electronics.

The DSRConversion replaces the real-time computer (DEC PDP 11/23 or PC from ABC, Leica, SoftMap or other vendor) with all of its related components that are hard to find, expensive, or no longer available. The DSRConversion electronics can be replaced with a set of screw drivers. We suggest cleaning, checking, lubricating and calibrating the instrument as well.
