The Trimble R8 receiver has no controls for changing settings. To 
configure the receiver, use external software such as GPS 
Configurator, WinFlash, or Trimble Survey Controller.

There are two ways to configure the receiver. You can:

•

configure the receiver in real time

•

apply the settings in an application file

This chapter provides a brief overview of each of these methods and 
describes the contents and use of application files.

GPS Configurator and Trimble Survey Controller support real-time 
configuration of the Trimble R8 receiver.

When you configure the receiver in real time, you use one of these 
software applications to specify which settings you want to change. 
When you apply the changes, the receiver settings change 
immediately.

Any changes that you apply to the receiver are reflected in the current 
application file, which is always present in the receiver. The current 
application file always records the most recent configuration, so if you 
apply further changes (either in real time or using an application file) 
the current file is updated and there is no record of the changes that 
you applied originally.

For more information on configuring the receiver in real time, see 
Chapter 16, Software Utilities.
