6. Guide General Operation 4 If you use the Data Transfer utility to download the internally logged files a DAT dat file is automatically created after the download DAT files do not contain GLONASS data These files are appropriate for processing in Trimble Geomatics Office software because that software does not process GLONASS data If you have the Trimble Business Center software the TO1 file that is stored on the receiver can be directly downloaded these files contain any collected GLONASS data The Trimble Business Center software can process GLONASS data if you have purchased that option CAUTION The receiver allows for more than 500 files on the CompactFlash card regardless of the card s capacity The file names must be in 8 3 format otherwise files copied to the CompactFlash card may cause data corruption or loss of data when logging Data is logged using the current logging settings configured in the receiver Data files logged internally are named automatically To begin internal logging press e The Logging memory LED lights up To stop logging hold down for at least two seconds The Logging memory LED turns off Note When the CompactFlash card is full if auto delete is not enabled the receiver stops logging data and the Logging memory LED turns off Existing data files are not overwritten Approximate storage requirements for different logging rates are shown below The values shown are for a one hour
