Frequently Asked Questions

Which operating systems are supported by Trimble data collectors?

How do I make sure I have the most current operating system (OS) version on my data collector?

Android updates are automatically pushed OTA to Android-compatible devices, which the user then needs to accept. Trimble encourages users to accept these updates to ensure your controller keeps up to date and operates efficiently.

Go to the Trimble OS, BIOS & Firmware portal for the latest Trimble OS updates for your Windows compatible controllers.

Which GNSS receivers support Trimble data collectors?

Trimble TSC7, Trimble TSC5 and Trimble TDC6 support the Trimble R12i, Trimble R12, Trimble R780 and Trimble R580 GNSS receivers. Trimble TDC6 supports the Trimble DA2 receiver.

How do I maximise the battery life of my controller?

There are a few ways to get the most out of your controller battery:

Power saver mode (Windows 10 Action Center)
Minimise the power and sleep timeout settings (Settings/System/Power & Sleep)
Reduce the display backlight (Fn + 4 keys on the keypad)
Lock the screen rotation
Turn off the radios (Wi-Fi, WWAN, Bluetooth) when you are not using them
Change sync settings (Settings/Accounts/Sync your settings)
Deselect items you don’t need.

Which Trimble Geospatial software products are compatible with Trimble controllers?

Trimble Access, Trimble TerraFlex and Trimble Penmap software.

Why would I use a Trimble handheld instead of a consumer smartphone or tablet?

Trimble handhelds are rugged and designed to withstand the needs of demanding fieldwork more than many consumer devices. They are also optimised to for survey and mapping data collection with options such as physical button data keys and sunlight-readable screens.
