You can run some applications simultaneously on the Trex unit, while other applications
may require the same hardware and cannot run at the same time. An error message is
displayed on the screen when that occurs. Applications, such as the Field Communicator
application and Settings, can run simultaneously. To switch between applications that can
run simultaneously, tap the status bar at the top of the screen and tap Apps. You can then
select the open application you want to view and use.
You can purchase new applications or get updates to applications from Upgrade Studio.

Upgrade Studio and AMS Device Manager. You can:
• transfer files to the Trex unit, using Upgrade Studio
• pair the Trex unit with an AMS Device Manager system to synchronize data
To help ensure proper communication between the Trex unit and the PC, do not use a USB
2.0 cable that is longer than 2 meters. Do not connect more than one Trex unit to an AMS
Device Manager station at one time.
