Connecting the Receiver and a
Computer
Topcon’s TRU and PC-CDU software products provide an interface
for various configuration, monitoring, and management functions for
the receiver.
To configure, manage files, or maintain the receiver, connect the
receiver and a computer using one of the following methods and start
TRU or PC-CDU:
• a Bluetooth-enabled external device (computer/controller)
• an RS232 cable and a computer/controller
• a USB cable and a computer/controller with the TPS USB driver
installed (for PC-CDU only)
Once a connection between the receiver and the computer/controller
has been established:
• configure the receiver and its components
• send commands to the receiver
• download files from the receiver’s memory
• upload new firmware using TRU
• upload an OAF
• upload configuration files to a receiver
Establishing a Wireless Connection
The GR-5 receiver contains Bluetooth wireless technology that
allows file transfer and synchronization between the receiver and any
other external device that supports Bluetooth wireless technology; for
example, an FC-250, or a computer with USB-to-Bluetooth adapter
or PCMCA-to-Bluetooth adapter installed.
