Receiver And File Maintenance; Downloading Files To A Computer - Topcon GR-3 Operator's Manual

Chapter 5
Receiver and File
Maintenance
If post-processing the data after completing a survey, the data in the
receiver's memory needs to download to a computer. Downloading
and deleting files prepares the receiver's memory for the next survey.
Occasionally, the receiver's NVRAM may need to be cleared to
eliminate communication or tracking problems.
As project expectations expand, the receiver's OAF may need to be
updated to provide expanded operation and functionality. The various
boards inside the receiver (GPS, power, modem, and Bluetooth)
require firmware to properly operate and provide appropriate
functionality. As TPS releases firmware updates, loading these
updates into the receiver will ensure the receiver operates at its full
potential.
Downloading Files to a
Computer
After completing a survey, download data files to a computer for
storage, post-processing, or backup. Also, the receiver memory holds
a finite amount of files and information, so downloading data prevents
files from being lost. PC-CDU and Topcon Link both provide file
managers to download files from the receiver to your computer, and
to delete files from the receiver. PC-CDU Lite and Topcon Link are
both free utilities available via your Topcon Dealer or the Topcon
website (www.topconpositioning.com).
