Trimble R7 GPS Receiver Operation
The Trimble R7 receiver keeps satellite measurements and other data
in files stored on a CompactFlash card. These files cannot be processed
until you transfer them to your office computer.
Note – The receiver supports a maximum of 512 files on the CompactFlash
cards.
On returning to the office after completing a survey, transfer the field
data to a computer that has the Trimble Geomatics Office™ software
installed. You can then process the survey data in the Trimble
Geomatics Office software to produce baselines and coordinates.
6.1 Connecting to the Office Computer
The Trimble R7 receiver has three serial (COM) ports and one USB port
for connection to the office computer. A USB connection is up to ten
times faster than normal serial communications.
Use the standard power/serial data cable to connect the receiver to the
computer, as shown in Figure 6.1.
