Firmware Update For ICG70T and ICG160T Leica Tilt Receivers
Starting from 1st January 2025, the initialization of the tilt compensation functionality of the iCG70T and iCG160T GNSS sensors will no longer be calculated for receivers that don't have updated firmware.
The sensors will continue to provide positions, but users will need to ensure the bubble is leveled manually during measurements.
This is due to the sunsetting of a check date in the mathematical model in the tilt compensation algorithm, which will cause the tilt functionality to stop working from this date onwards. Levelled positions will always maintain full accuracy.
