Trimble R7 GPS Receiver Operation
30.3 CompactFlash cards
The Trimble R7 receiver logs data internally on a CompactFlash card.
However, it only support the Type I CompactFlash card. Trimble
recommends that you use an industrial-rated CompactFlash card, as
commercial cards have a limited operating temperature range.
Before logging data to a CompactFlash card, format the card to ensure
the integrity of the file system. To format the card, insert it in the
receiver and then hold down the power button for 30 seconds.
Note – Make sure that you format your CompactFlash card in the receiver.
This prevents data on the card from being corrupted if the card is removed
while data is being logged. Formatting the card in your computer may
cause data corruption, or loss of data.
When inserting the card, make sure that it slides into the card slot
properly.

WARNING –
– The Trimble R7 receiver allows for a maximum of 512 files on the
CompactFlash card, regardless of the card’s capacity. The file names must
be in 8.3 format, otherwise files copied to the CompactFlash card may
cause data corruption or loss of data when logging.
– If the card does not seat into the pins correctly, do not use force or you
may damage the pins. Remove the card and carefully reinsert it.
