General Operation     1 4

You can log data internally or to a Trimble controller.

The Trimble R8 receiver logs GPS data internally on 6 MB of internal 
memory.

You can then use the Trimble Data Transfer utility to transfer logged 
data files to the office computer. The transferred files are in Trimble 
DAT (.dat) format. 

C

WARNING – The Trimble R8 allows for a maximum of 200 files on the 
internal memory. The filenames must be in 8.3 format, otherwise files 
copied to the internal memory may cause data corruption or loss of data 
when logging.
Data is logged using the current logging settings configured in the 
receiver. Data files logged internally are named automatically. 

To begin internal logging, you must use a Trimble controller, or the 
GPS Configurator utility. The Trimble R8 receiver does not have an 
internal clock, so you can only conduct timed survey sessions if the 
receiver has a continuous power supply.

When the internal memory is full, the receiver stops logging data, and 
the Logging/Memory LED switches off. Existing data files are not 
overwritten. You can use the Auto-delete option to override this action 
and automatically delete the oldest files when the receiver memory is 
full. However, you should use this option with caution because it can 
lead to data loss.
