Chances are they are in the coordinate system manager that is packaged with TBC. So if you can specify which ones then someone might be able to help you out. Unless you already have Trimble Business Center?
once again you were a great help! its called PRS92 and its there inside the coordinate system manager. but i have one more question, can i upload that inside my receiver like inside my R10 there is an option between NAD83 and WGS84 something like that? can i upload it such that when ill make a static observation i can use that instead of WGS84?

Not yet. coz honestly im a newbie on this. im just starting to learn about RTK surveying. its just that i need to do an observation for me to register my receiver to the GIS & Mapping agency back home in the Philippines but they want me to submit a renix file data so it mean that i need to give them the raw data converted to renix file. also by that i need to make everything right before i do the observation. the first question in my head is about datum reference, which one i need to use. although back home they also incorporate WGS84 in their controls but maybe i need to talk to them if WGS84 datum is okay when i do my static observation.

A static file (eg RINEX file) does not need a datum, in fact it cannot have a datum. I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. It is a log of the GPS signals received and can be used to process against a similar file from a known base.
The vector produced by the processing can then be applied from the known base to give the coordinate of the new point. I am pretty sure this is generally done in ECEF coordinates. The ECEF coordinates can then be transformed / projected to whatever coordinate system is required.

The coordinate system, needs to be in your desktop static processing software, or in your RTK rover controller. The GPS unit works in ECEF coordinates I believe.

I have been trying to add the custom.csd file to the TSC2 (Survey Controller 12.50) with Data Transfer. The file is transferred successfully, but I get an error when opening Survey Controller. I can delete the custom.csd file from the TSC2 and Survey Controller will work without the desired coordinate system. I'm trying to load the Iowa Regional Coordinate Systems.
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Instead of using Data Transfer try copy/paste. Put it in Trimble DataSystem Files, then reboot.

I did not have the System Files folder on the TSC2 so I created the folder. Survey Control does not crash anymore, but I still don't have the Iowa RCS projections in the library on the TSC2. Do you know if I'm supposed to be using a .csd file or should there be a .xml file istead?
It has to be custom.csd. It doesn't make sense that you didn't have a System Files folder, that's where your geoid models, feature libraries, and a host of other things reside.
I'd have to have the collector in front of me, sorry.

As I talk my way through this issue I wonder if the .csd file I have is set up for Trimble Access and cannot be back processed to work in Survey Controller? Do you see any reason that might be the case?
It's possible but unlikely.
