Exchanging site setup with Trimble 4D Control

The Trimble Access Monitoring software provides flexibility in exchanging and editing site setups with Trimble 4D Control. In a scenario where no Settop M1 is used, this feature allows a site setup to be transferred to Trimble 4D Control to streamline the automated monitoring system setup. In addition an existing site setup exported by Trimble 4D Control can be imported for continued work in the field such as adding additional targets or editing existing target information.

To export the site setup to Trimble 4D Control

  1. In Monitoring, tap and select Data exchange / T4D Control / Export Site Setup.
  2. The Export Site Setup dialog confirms the site setup was exported. Tap OK.
  3. To locate the exported site setup file, tap and select Job data / File explorer to open the Trimble Data\Projects folder in File Explorer. The site setup file has the file extension .tamsetup and is stored in the <projectname>\ T4DControlExport folder.

To import the site setup from Trimble 4D Control

  1. In Trimble 4D Control, export the site setup. The exported file has the file extension .tamsetup. In File explorer, copy this file.
  2. In Monitoring, tap and select Job data / File explorer to open the Trimble Data\Projects folder in File Explorer.
  3. In File Explorer, paste the .tamsetup file into the <projectname> / T4DControlImport folder in the Trimble Data\Projects folder.
  4. Tap and select Data exchange / T4D Control / Import Site Setup.
  5. Select the site setup file you just pasted into the folder.
