TCU attachment with USB
The TCU attachment is the interface between the Trimble S Series instrument and the Trimble CU.
A USB connector on the side of the TCU attachment allows the user to connect a USB memory stick
to transfer files from and to the TCU.
The TCU attachment is not available on the Trimble S3 instruments. The Trimble S3 Robotic Total
Station is equipped with a Face 1 cover instead of the TCU attachment. The Trimble S3 Servo/
Autolock Total Stations is equipped with a fixed control panel.
