HP 48/49 and COGO
(OP)
I’m thinking about buying a basic COGO package to use with a HP calculator.
I see that there are a lot on the Internet for the HP 48G series. However this calculator is discontinued and the HP 49’s are out. I don't have a HP48.
Will a GOGO program written for a HP48 work in a HP49? Will I need an emulation program to mimic the HP48 operating system in a HP49?
Are there any COGO packages available for a HP49?
I have a Sokkia Set 5B total station. (I know a little old but it’s all I need.) Are there interface cards available for between the total station and the HP49? Will a HP48 cable work?
If I use a HP49 are there environmental cases for the calculator?
Any advise and guidance in this area will be appreciated.

RE: HP 48/49 and COGO
Quickest way to an answer is to ring your local Sokkia rep and ask for what you require. I know some sales reps can be a pain but at least if you go ahead and purchase cables and the like and they don't work you can go back to them.
I know when I was using a Sokkia set 5 a few years ago it would interface with the HP48 and I would imagine that Sokkia would keep a certain level of compatibility about their gear to include updates for HP connectivity.
Good luck
