Trimble Access and SC:

Most files you'll need to process data from Trimble survey and machine control systems are included in the LSS v10 install. 

This page contains copies of the supplementary support files you may need including Workshop documents to get you started. 


Getting Started – Workshop Manual:

Download our LSS with Trimble Access and SC Workshop manual here: Workshop Manual.

This document explains how best to configure the Trimble instrument, how to survey using the inbuilt programs and then download the data into LSS.


Feature Coding:

Download an example feature library - created in LSS from the LSS prototype legend: Feature Library.

Download a copy of our feature coding document (Acrobat format) here.


Machine Control – Trimble CAL to Topcon GC3 data exchange:

Download a free Windows application which converts Trimble calibration (CAL) files containing local site or map projection data into a Topcon localization (GC3) file for use in Machine Control.  Visit our product page here.

 

Trimble GCS900 and Trimble Earthworks (Beta):

LSS can export for the above two systems. It uses Trimble File Flipper to create these files in an automated fashion and requires it to be installed. 

If you do not yet have Trimble File Flipper you can download it from here.


Having problems?

If, when converting Trimble Job files, you see an error message or the LSS load file you were expecting is in an unfamiliar format, then please download our guide here. 

Trimble Access updates:

You may have reached this stage because you've seen an error message when attempting to convert one of your Trimble Job files. Something like "Database Version Wrong, expect 11.0-74, Actual: 11.10-17" or similar. This means that your instrument firmware is newer than the programs on your PC can read.
