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 and everything is also on the install DVD/Flash Drive. 

However, this page contains copies of the supplementary support files you may need if you do not have access to a DVD, including Workshop documents to get you started. 

Using LSS with Trimble equipment - Getting started

Download our "LSS with Trimble Access and SC" Workshop manual (below). This document explains how best to configure the Trimble instrument, how to survey using the inbuilt programs and then download the data into LSS. For a full practical training course on this subject please visit our Training pages to see when the next Trimble course is timetabled or contact us to discuss your requirements

Machine Control

Trimble CAL to Topcon GC3 data exchange

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)

We now have built into LSS an 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 

For anything else, see below

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.
