This is a "heads-up" notice for anyone operating Leica 1000 receivers
under Firmware version 8.02:

There appears to be a problem in the dates generated for the internal
logging of files. For Dec. 31 , the day/month/year entry on the internal
logging directory is set at 00/01/01 instead of 31/12/00.

Consequently, any requests for Dec.31 data using a "timespan" request
results in a "data not found" message. This means "Leica Link" will not be
able to retrieve these data. Although I have not yet tried it, I assume
a direct file "dump" of the data under the MC_CDU program should still
work inspite of the erroneous date stamp.

Happy New Year.......
