Can anyone help me with my trimble r8 (model 1) GPS setup?
Fellow surveyors,
I recently bought a trimble r8 model 1 GPS base and receiver unit. I thought I had set everything up correctly, but there is limited information setting up the older r8 with survey controller v12.5. Can anyone find a link to or walk me through step by step so that the r8 base and receiver communicate with one another. The radios on the r8 are internal, I am using bluetooth. My data collector identifies both r8 units in the bluetooth menu. I am not sure if I am setting up the radios correctly.. I think you have to do one unit at a time and set up the radio configuration under “survey styles”. I thought I did that.. The unit that I am using for a base see satellites, when I go through and start the base.. the program will start the base and drop the connection to the unit. The same thing happens with my other data collector, so I don’t think it is the program.
