These Release Notes describe the new features and changes available in this release of the Trimble® Access™ software.

New hardware supported

Trimble R10-2 receiver

Trimble Access version 2017.21 supports the Trimble R10-2 (R10 model 2) receiver.

The Trimble R10-2 modem does not support Bluetooth Dial-up Networking (DUN), and so you cannot use the SIM card in the receiver and enable Route through controller. To route data through the controller, insert the SIM card in the controller and set the Route through controller field to On.

Resolved issues

  • TIFF images: When you add a TIFF file that has been rotated to the map, the software now warns that the image is rotated and will not load.
  • DXF arcs in 3D map: Arcs in a DXF file now display correctly in the 3D map, and not as a series of line segments.
  • Widescreen toggle key: Pressing the [.] key (the fullstop or period key) on the Trimble TSC7 controller keypad now toggles Widescreen mode on and off. You can also press the [+], [-] or [=] keys to zoom in, zoom out, or zoom to extents. This is now the same as for the Trimble TSC3 controller.
  • SDE database error when viewing an SX10 scan: You will no longer see an "SDE error cannot open database: Invalid project file" message when you attempt to view a scan from a Trimble SX10 scanning total station that was created by a different Windows user. RWCX files now allow read/write permissions for all users.
  • SX10 Wi-Fi connections: When running Trimble Access on a Windows 10 controller and attempting to connect to a Trimble SX10 scanning total station using Wi-Fi, the software sometimes showed a"Wi-Fi scan failed. Check hardware is enabled" message, although there was no issue and it was possible to connect to the instrument. These false messages no longer appear when you open the Wi-Fi settings screen.
  • Prompt to update GNSS contact: When you start an RTK survey and enter the NTRIP username and password for the selected RTK source, the software now asks whether to update the GNSS contact with the details you have entered. This restores functionality that has been missing since Trimble Access version 2017.00.
