Transferring files to the office

You can transfer various types of monitoring files between the controller and the office computer, however, not all formats can be opened directly with your office software.

Exporting your data to Trimble 4D Control

To export your monitoring data to the Trimble 4D Control software, tap and select Reports / Export to T4DControl. In the confirmation dialog, tap OK. The data is exported to a JobXML (*.jxl) file and stored in the project folder.

Use Trimble 4D Control software to open the JobXML file and analyze your monitoring data by viewing current displacements, displacement charts, and error ellipses.

Viewing your data using Trimble Business Center

If you have exported your monitoring data to a JobXML (*.jxl) file, you can import this into the Trimble Business Center software.

All monitoring observations are imported into the project and the coordinates used by the project are derived from the first epoch.

 

  • Use the Project Explorer to view the observations from each epoch.
  • Generate a point derivation report to view the coordinates for each epoch.
  • Use the Point Tolerances option in Project Settings to define the point movement tolerances. Any coordinates outside these tolerances will be highlighted red in the reports and flagged as out of tolerance in the map window.
