6       Transferring Data

6 6      Trimble R7/R8 GPS Receiver User Guide

All data is stored in a Trimble R7 receiver on an internal 
CompactFlash card. There are two ways to transfer files between the 
receiver and the office computer:

•

Connect the receiver to the office computer and use the Data 
Transfer utility to transfer files.

•

Remove the CompactFlash card from the receiver and connect it 
directly to your office computer, where it functions like a 
normal disk drive. Use Windows Explorer to transfer files.

When you use the Data Transfer utility to transfer data files from the 
CompactFlash card while it is still inserted in the receiver, the Data 
Transfer utility converts the raw receiver data (.T01) files you select 
into the Trimble DAT file format.

However, if you connect the CompactFlash card to your computer and 
then copy or move files to your computer, it treats the card like any 
other disk drive, and transfers the files without converting them. You 
need to convert these raw receiver files to DAT format files before you 
can use them on your office computer.

You can convert receiver data files by using a Windows Explorer 
extension which is installed on your computer when you install the 
Data Transfer utility.
