Firmware

  • The Trimble Firmware Information page has information regarding specific firmware issues as well as instructions on how to load the firmware. If you do not find what you are looking for here, you can try the Trimble Support pages as well.

Software

  • Trimble R-Utilities -
    Trimble R-Utilities is a group of programs that permit remote control of certain Trimble GPS receivers. RUtilities provide receiver configuration capability via direct serial, phone modem, and via wireless radios protocols. The latest version of rutils for windows, linux, and solaris should be able to translate R00, T00, and T01 files (Please let us know if you encounter a problem by sending an email to support at unavco.org. Please also note that the RUtilities can not be used to download a NetRS GPS receiver, only translate the T00 file acquired from the receiver.

    The following table gives the operating system and receiver types supported for each version of the software. Click on the version number to download.

    Operating System 4000 Rxs 4700 Rxs 5700 / R7   RHL 6.x RHL 7.x RHL 9.x

    Get the Trimble R-Utilities User's Guide (pdf).

    Get the Trimble R7-R8 User's Guide (pdf).

Please note that the following software packages may or may not work with certain usb to serial adapters. The UNAVCO Facility commonly uses the Keyspan usb to serial adapter when working with the Trimble R7 receiver, and the Belkin usb to serial adapter for the NetRS GPS receiver.

  • LAPDOGS - Local Automated Process for Downloading of Global Sites
    UNAVCO has developed a set of programs and scripts to automate the downloading of Trimble receivers from UNIX platforms. At its core, this tool is meant to download data from a remote Trimble site to a computer, while supporting various communication strategies (radio modems, phone modems, direct connections). LAPDOGS utilizes the the Trimble R-Utilities in order to download, rename data files, and purge the downloaded files from the receiver memory.

    Get the LAPDOGS Program.

  • WinFlash
    WinFlash is a windows based utility to load new firmware onto a Trimble GPS receiver. Please note that some usb to serial adapters will not work with this program because they do not send a break.

  • GPLoad v2.75
    GPLoad v2.75 includes functionality to transfer v7.5 Trimble Survey Controller files and your local PC. This enables users who have the Trimble Survey Office software to use data collected with the Trimble Survey Controller v7.5 software.

  • GPSConfig
    Used to configure Trimble receivers via a GUI interface which also displays current status of the receiver.

  • Configuration Toolbox (v4.0.1.2)
    This software provides the tools to configure Trimble GPS receivers. The configuration settings are stored in an application file (*.cfg). See the standard UNAVCO configuration file.

    With Configuration Toolbox you can:
    • create and edit application files
    • transfer the files to and from your receiver
    • manage the files stored in the receiver

    You can store application files on both your receiver and computer. The receiver also stores two special applications files: Defaults and Current. These files represent the default and current receiver configurations.

    Multiple application files can be managed to represent multiple users sharing a device and/or multiple modes of operation. They may also be saved to audit the operating settings of a receiver. The number of total files that a receiver can store depends on the receiver type. For more information about the limitations on application file storage, refer to your receiver manual.

  • Remote Controller 2.21
    Provides virtual access to all functions on 4700, 4800, 4000, 4400, 7400 and MS 750 GPS receivers. Allows 4700 users to configure 1 PPS/Event Marker Consult the Remote Controller Manual for more information.
