When SCS900 was created we created the Site Calibration process and adopted the DC file as our standard since that was the standard used by Trimble Access at the time and something everyone knew and understood. In the SCS900 use case, for construction purposes we determined that the thing for contractors was once the calibration was completed, that it would be locked down so it was not something that could change any time - since changing the Site Calibration would effectively change the position and elevation of every measured or staked location on site.
Trimble Dc File Editor
So what is the difference between a CAL and a DC file. The answer is only the file extension and in the SCS900 / Siteworks use case the CAL contains the measurement data (the point pairs) whereas the DC file contains the result. Both the CAL and a DC file are basically a DC file.
The answer to that is you can - open the DC File Editor, go to File, Open and in the file selector dialog select the option for All Files of All Types. That will display the CAL file, you can select it and it will open and look just the same as a DC file would look in the same editor. You could also rename the CAL file to a .DC and that would allow you to also open it as a DC file.
Trimble DC File Editor is developed by Trimble. The most popular version of this product among our users is 2.0. The name of the program executable file is DCEditor.exe. The product will soon be reviewed by our informers.
From left to right/top to bottom, the tools are:EDM Calibration - offers an option to enter field measurementsand calibrate to a published base line.Point Search - Searches for points bynameInverse - calculates the direction and horizontal distancebetween two pointsRelative Error Ellipses - calculates the error ellipse betweentwo pointsConversion Tools - converts dataformats of raw input files
After the file is processed, the results can be stored as anASCII text file. Use the Save Output or the menuoption "File/Save Results File As..." to save the results. First,you will be prompted for an output file name. The input data canalso be stored. Once stored it can be opened and processedagain.
The purpose of this option is to convert GPS vector files thatare in the manufacturers' binary or ASCII format into the StarNetASCII file format. The advantage of creating an ASCII file is thatthe ASCII file can be edited using a standard text editor. Beingable to edit the vector file may be necessary in order to editpoint numbers so that the point numbers in the GPS file match thepoint numbers in the total station file.
First choose the file format of the GPS vector file to beconverted. Next use the 'Select' button to navigate to the vectorfile to be converted. If you are converting a Thales file you havethe option to remove the leading 0's from Thales point numbers.Next, use the second 'Select' button to select the name of the newASCII GPS vector file to be created. Choose the 'Convert' button toinitiate the file conversion. Press the 'Cancel' button when youhave completed the conversions. The file created will have anextension of .GPS. Following are examples of different GPS formatsthat can be converted to ASCII:
The purpose of this option is to convert differential levelfiles from digital levels into C&G/Carlson differential levelfile format. At present the only level file format that can beconverted are the level files downloaded from the Topcon digitallevels.

Trimble Connect for Business is included when you purchase a SketchUp subscription. Activating the tools to sync SketchUp files with Trimble Connect unlocks a whole new dimension to SketchUp, including:
Trimble Connect is an impressive collaboration tool that does much more than just sync project files (more on that below). At its most basic level, it serves as a cloud-based repository where data can be centrally stored and shared; however, it goes far beyond that with a suite of applications and features that enable users to manage data in the context of their project.
Unfortunately, this is a native dialog with a set layout that on the Windows editions is compiled into the executable program. It is possible to hack it, but changes would invalidate the security certificate (I believe.) ie, the checksum changes for the .exe. file. This is not something Trimble wants us to do.
Not only shortcuts but filepaths, too (in the files section.)The developers came across this, in version 2018 because it now shows the last part of the filepath, instead of the first part in earlier versions.
Setup 1 - If you have a survey project established it is best to begin in TBC by loading in the .JOB or .DC file which holds the coordinate system settings and then import the survey ground points.
Setup 2 - If there are no project calibration files then configure the project settings manually by opening the Project Settings dialog. Then follow the same export to UAS-Master process in Setup 1.
Dragging the local base station file into TBC with the project setup will display the WGS84 equivalent position in order to obtain the base location to enter into Wingtrahub. Find the base point to view the properties and paste the global coordinates into WingtraHub.
Yuki Hatanaka (hatagsi.go.jp) (GSI)wrote and maintains rnx2crx and crx2rnx, which allows the user tocompress/decompress a RINEX OBS file into a smaller ASCII format. The Hatanaka-compressedASCII format version of a RINEX OBS file is frequently used in conjuction withthe UNIX compress, zip, gzip or other generalized compression utilitiesto create a very small file for Internet transfer.rnx2crx & crx2rnx
Trimble's runpkr00 allows users to convert .r00/.t00/.t01/.t02 files logged by Trimble GPS/GNSS receivers to .dat or .tgd files which can then be read by UNAVCO's teqc.runpkr00 in UNAVCO's Knowledge Base

The following translator, convert, is available through UNAVCO with agreement with Ashtech.Convert is a DOS executable, developed by Ashtech circa 1993, to translatepre-"version 3" B-files into "version 3" B-files. It may not work onall early B-files. This software is not currently supported by Ashtech,and neither Ashtech nor UNAVCO assume any responsibility for its use.In other words: "User beware! (or Caveat emptor, even though youaren't buying it). It has been successful, however, in translating pre-"version 3"B-files to version 3 B-files, which can then be read by teqc.convert:Ashtech pre-"version 3" B-file to "version 3" B-file
Jeff Freymueller (jfreymuelleralaska.edu) (Univ. of Alaska Fairbanks)wrote and maintains clockprep, which is used to convert RINEX OBS file in receiver time(millisecond receiver clock resets in time tag, smooth phase and pseudorange) into the other flavor of RINEXin GPS time (smooth time tag, but millisecond jumps now in phase and pseudorange) so that the data can be processed with GIPSY.Note: Having RINEX with smooth time tag is a required step for GIPSY users, but the resultingRINEX should also be able to be used in other processing software.clockprepsource and executables for Solaris Sparc and Linux x86
