Sorry for the long title. I have downloaded the latest and greatest TBC. I have somewhat of an idea of how it works. (Last time I used it was 2016) still seems straight forward. I'm specifically using it to convert some static shots to rinex and then opus.?ÿ
Edit: I just realized I didn't state a clear problem or a question. So I'm looking for tutorials on how to get started, once I shoot my static points what is the best way to bring in the raw data? i see i also have a desktop icon that says Convert to rinex in slime green lettering, is that also part of TBC? any pointers would be great. I'm taking my observations using a r8s receiver head and a TSc3 data collector.?ÿ
Thanks team.?ÿ

I'm wondering why you would convert to rinex, TBC will automatically send the native R8s files off to OPUS if you want to use OPUS. Also you can check the box to send the files to Trimble and they will process it.?ÿ
In the Survey menu it's under processing services. It basically walks you through the steps.?ÿ
Try using this here. Trimble has a simple free utility for converting files to the Rinex format. You can also submit files in the Trimble .dat format straight to OPUS. I use TBC for post processing static data mostly and there are plenty of help videos out there.
Trimble GeoSpatial have their own youtube channel.
There's a whole stack of TBC intro and how-to videos there
I second the YT channel. The tutorials (Support tab, over to the left) are really great too if you want hands-on data to work with.

Also, once you get rolling on the basics and want to get to the power user level, the Power Hours are outstanding. I don't know of any other big geospatial firm that regularly holds webinars featuring the individuals who design and implement products.
Go to this site: https://geospatialresources.trimble.com/webinar
and click the Product dropdown, change to Trimble Business Center and then click filter.
The processing services mentioned above is easy and also allows you to double check the antenna height and time interval. It basically bypasses the need to go to NGS page and send to OPUS that way. You still get sent the process positioning data to your email from opus. ?ÿI have been using the Trimble service as well in that same place with same data set as a extra check because you literally are dragging and dropping. ?ÿYou don??t even have to strip out glonass or any other gnss as i log all satellite constellation and i guess when using that process it strips it before sending to OPUS. ?ÿAll the sites listed above are great. ?ÿAnd several people here that have helped get me pointed in the right direction. ?ÿThe more i learn about TBC the more i love it for data management qa/qc and much more. ?ÿIt is a great program for surveyors once you realize its not cad and approach it that way. ?ÿ

Yep, processing services under the survey tab is what I use now.?ÿ So slick and hard to screw up even for a relative newbie, imo.
I also use the device pane under the home tab quite a bit because it lets you examine all of your projects and slide data back and forth from the collector.

@bstrand yes i am fairly new to it as well. I used a beta version years ago but now i am getting into production mode with it. Every day i try something new or accidentally figure something new out. My brain seems to learn it much quicker than it can adapt to civil3d But I am learning that as well. Every time I learn something from either i take some time at end of day to try and see how the other software does same task. Keeps me young lol.
On one of the tabs in TBC , support?, there??s a link to many recorded power hour webinars with lots if good info. Interface will look different on older videos but will be helpful?ÿ
