5700 Operation

6.4 WinFLASH Software

WinFLASH communicates with Trimble products to perform various

functions including:

• installing software, firmware, and option upgrades

• running diagnostics (for example, retrieving configuration

information)

• configuring radios

If additional information is needed, online help is also available when

using WinFLASH.

Note – WinFLASH is a 32-bit application, so the local computer’s

operating system must be Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, or ME. It does

not run under earlier versions of Windows.

WinFLASH can be installed from the 5700/5800 GPS Receiver CD,

or from the Trimble website.
