Installing the 1Edit Device Extension

If using external surveying hardware, then the 1Edit Device Extension must be installed on the machine.

This can be installed by any user, but the installation requires administrator privileges.

Once the device extension is installed as any administrator user, all users who use 1Edit on this machine will be able to connect to supported GPS and TotalStation devices.

Install the 1Edit Device Extension

1. Log in to the machine as a user with administrator privileges.

2. Copy the installation folder to a temporary location on the local machine, or access it from a mapped network drive.

   Note: Security settings typically prevent you from installing directing from the C: drive, so place the installation folder within a sub-folder.

3. If the folder is zipped, unzip it now. You cannot install from a zipped folder.
4. Navigate to the unzipped folder and double-click on installDeviceExtension.bat.
5. The 1Edit Device Extension will install automatically, messages in the window will indicate success or failure.
