Managing Files; Downloading And Deleting Files - Topcon Net-G5 Operator's Manual

Managing Files

Raw data is recorded as time-tagged measurements in a single raw data file. Each file is recorded to the
receiver's internal memory, and automatically given a name and a *.tps file extension. You can then transfer a
file of collected data to a computer with file managing software, such as the Topcon Receiver Utility (TRU). This
program allows you to use an automatic naming feature, enter file names, and delete files as necessary. For
more information, see the

Downloading and Deleting Files

You can download data files to a computer or a controller for storage, post-processing, or backup. The memory
card holds a finite amount of files, so you will want to delete files to restore memory capacity.
When the memory card is full, the receiver stops logging data, and the REC LED turns dark/off, indicating an
error condition. Existing data is not overwritten, unless you have the AFRM mode enabled.
To delete raw data files from the receiver, use a USB, serial, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth connection to download the files
to a computer. In TRU, you can select the files you want to delete from the receiver. See the
Manual
for more information or TRU
Once a connection is established, you can download all or some files to a computer or controller and then use
the File Explorer feature in the Topcon Receiver Utility (TRU) to manage the raw data files. For more information
about using TRU to download or delete files, see the
available in the software.
If you use the Net-G5 as a reference station in a network, you can use TopNet+ or the Vanguard web interface
for downloading files.
