Trimble Data Transfer

Trimble Data Transfer is a super handy app for anyone needing to move data from various devices to their personal computer. When we talk about devices, we're looking at things like the Trimble Series 4000 and R/5000 receivers, DiNi Digital Level, and Trimble Survey Controller, just to name a few.

Importing Data Made Easy

Once the data is recognized by the app, you can easily import it into applications like Trimble Geomatics Office, Trimble Total Control, or Terramodel. This feature is a lifesaver for civil engineers and surveyors who work with terrain models and alignment design.

Add New Devices with Ease

The cool part? The program uses a device definition system that helps gather info about each piece of equipment. There's an easy-to-use wizard that takes you through adding any new device. When you have a device definition set up, every time you connect that device to your PC, Trimble Data Transfer makes transferring data smooth.

Step-by-Step Guidance

The wizard guides you step-by-step when you're adding and configuring a new device definition for data transfer. Just hit the ‘Device’ button, click ‘New,’ pick the type of device you want to create, set its port number (this varies by model), and give it a name. You'll see the list update right away with your new device definition!

Manage Your Data Effectively

The application also has multiple dialogs that help manage and organize your files just the way you need them. These dialogs allow you to change output file formats, select coordinate systems or zones for GID dataloggers, choose background files for transfer, and pick which waypoints matter to you.

Your Device List at a Glance

For example, in the ‘Devices dialog,’ you'll find a full list of all the devices you've defined in the app so far. You can add new ones, delete old ones or even rename them while checking their properties.

Monitor Your Transfers

The ‘Receiving dialog’ pops up whenever you start transferring files; it shows how much progress you're making. Once everything’s received, you'll see the ‘Converting dialog’ where you can choose your preferred output format.

A Must-Try Tool!

If you're a civil engineer or just someone who needs to quickly track waypoints and transfer information from various Trimble devices to your computer, give Trimble Data Transfer a try—it could be just what you're looking for!
