This article is to address Quicklock issues if you have already updated to the Latest version of SurvCE and gone through
normal troubleshooting procedures.

Below is the method used to check the firmware version in the Topcon robots.  This information frequently changes so it
is a good idea to consult your Topcon dealer for the latest firmware version information.   If you are having Quicklock
issues in SurvCE while using the Robot with a Topcon RC unit, this is a good thing to check as the older versions of
Topcon Firmware have known Quicklock issues.
