Despite its stability, no software is perfect. Here are the most common issues with Sokkia ProLink 1.15 and their solutions.
This works, but latency can be an issue for robotic tracking.
| Problem | Likely Fix |
|---------|-------------|
| No connection | Check baud rate matching; try 4800 or 19200. Ensure cable is a null-modem cross cable (not straight-through). |
| Garbage characters | Parity/stop bits mismatch. Set to 8-N-1. |
| Upload fails mid-way | Reduce baud rate. Clear instrument’s memory (backup first). |
| Software crashes on Windows 10 | Run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode + as Administrator. |
| No COM port listed | Install USB-serial driver (e.g., FTDI or Prolific). Avoid cheap adapters without Win10 driver. |
ProLink 1.15 typically uses a hardware key (dongle) or a serial number. If your device previously had ProLink, the license might be stored in the registry. If not, contact a Sokkia authorized dealer—however, note that support for v1.15 is deprecated, so you may need to rely on existing licenses.
When loading a DXF or CSV with over 5,000 points, earlier versions could lag during zoom or pan operations. Version 1.15 optimized the graphics rendering engine, making map navigation smoother on devices with 128MB of RAM.
