data files to the office computer. The transferred files are in Trimble
DAT (.dat) format.

WARNING – The Trimble R8 receiver allows for a maximum of 200 files on
the internal memory. The filenames must be in 8.3 format, otherwise files
copied to the internal memory may cause data corruption or loss of data
when logging.
Data is logged using the current logging settings configured in the
receiver. Data files logged internally are named automatically.
