Managing Files; Downloading And Deleting Files - Topcon HiPer V 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 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), which is supplied on the GPS+ Software CD. This program allows
you to use an automatic naming feature, enter file names, and delete files as necessary. For more information, see the TRU
Reference Manual supplied on the HiPer V CD.

Downloading and Deleting Files

After completing a survey, download data files to a computer or a controller for storage, post‐processing, or backup.
Downloading and deleting files prepares the memory card for the next survey. (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.)
There are three options for deleting raw data files from the receiver:
•
Delete all of the files using the LED display panel (i.e. hold the power button for 20 to 25 seconds). This erases all of the
files in the receivers internal memory.
•
Use a serial or Bluetooth connection to download the files to a computer/controller. In the Topcon Receiver Utility (TRU),
you can select the files you want to delete from the receiver. See the TRU Reference Manual for more information.
•
Remove the memory card and insert it into the memory card slot of a computer/controller.
