Use the USB cable to connect the receiver to the computer, as shown in Figure 6.2.

Note – When the receiver is connected to a USB port on a computer, it is treated as a
peripheral device of the computer. If the receiver is unplugged or turned off, a warning
message appears on the computer.
6.2 Transferring data
Transfer the data files to the computer using the Trimble Data Transfer utility. You can
run this utility as a standalone program or from within the Trimble Geomatics Office
software. For more information, refer to the Data Transfer Help.
Note – When you connect to a receiver in the Data Transfer utility, you must use a GPS
Receiver (R/5000 Series) device definition. If you use a GPS Receiver (4000 Series) device
definition, the Data Transfer utility cannot establish communication with the receiver.
When transfer is complete, the Data Transfer utility automatically converts the file to
the DAT format. If you are using Data Transfer from within the Trimble Geomatics
Office software, the Check-in dialog appears. For more information, refer to the Trimble
Geomatics Office User Guide.
Note – A file in DAT format is approximately six times the size of the corresponding file in
the Trimble R7 GPS receiver internal format. Before transferring files, make sure that there
is enough space on your computer.
