Leica DISTO™ transfer BT LE

Leica Geosystems AG

About this app

The program connects to Leica DISTO™ devices using a Bluetooth Low Energy (BT 4.0) interface (current models are Leica DISTO™ D510, Leica DISTO™ D810 touch). From your Android device, you can transfer the measurement data from the Leica DISTO™ into the Clipboard. With the D810 touch it is even possible to remotely trigger the measurement from your Android device. Once they are in the Clipboard, they can be inserted into any application.
Now you can also transfer your measurements directly into an Excel file. You can either generate this file on the Android device itself or you can download and open any Excel file previously used on another computer beforehand. The most common formulas from Excel are supported.
You are transfering the measurements in the currently active Excel cell.

The following Leica DISTO™ devices are supported:
Leica DISTO™ D510
Leica DISTO™ D810 touch

Please note: this program only runs on Android devices version 4.3 or higher. It supports Bluetooth 2.1 interface with SPP profile as well as Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy). Due to the vast amount of existing Android devices, not all can be tested. Successful results were achieved by using the Samsung Galaxy S4, Nexus 4 or Nexus 7.

Ratings and reviews

Very difficult to make this work on Android. My disto 7100i will not connect in Bluetooth settings. But if you use the Bluetooth pairing app "Bluetooth finder, scanner pair" by Zoltan pallagi you can pair your phone, then open the distro transfer app and the app finds the distro and measurements import to Excell flawlessly. I downloaded an APK for the app, not sure if it is the Google play store version, but if you have trouble maybe try that. Unacceptable to not keep your software updated

Atrocious app. Cannot tell if is connected, unless you happen to look at the unreadable text just above the spreadsheet or catch the message box. When connected, it still offers the option to connect to Disto. Why???? Also when connected, it does absolutely nothing when measure button is pressed. The spreadsheet it unusable, because the keyboard disappears. What a waste of time. A phone app is sorely needed in lieu of the PC software, but this is ridiculous.

Works great for what it is supposed to do. Of course you can spend a lot more on a newer tool (get fancy better software) but hey, its free and still works on my 20 year old Disto Plus, cant beat that. Bluetooth is a little buggy, sometimes wont connect until 3-4-5 tries..
