hi I have 2 Trimble 4800 that I've never used but now I saw a post that they are outdated so I did some research and found a way to still use them but I need to convert the Files from .R00 to .DAT I was trying with runpkr00 but I so far have had no luck does anyone know how to get that working 

PS I always use an R8 and I just want to get that 4800 working some way to maybe sell it or something

  • Command is runpkr00 -d filename.too result must be dat file.

    if you want rinex file use teqc with command teqc pathDatFile > RINEXname.txt

    That's all

    • thanks and I dont know why that command did not work but runpkr00 -dv filename 

      did work but thanks a lot 

      • run command prompt like administrator and after that use command runpkr00

    Have you tried Trimble's free Data Transfer Utility?  If you can't connect directly to the 4800, you could copy the R00 file from the card to a specific folder then, in the Utility, set up a new "Device" based on the 'General Survey Data Card' device -> select the instrument file folder as its' location, give it a custom device name and connect to it.

    When you Add files, it will look in that folder, where you can tell it to look for "4000 Series Receiver Files".

    I can't test it (don't have a 4800), but if you can load it this utility will covert to Trimble .DAT

    • thanks for the time to reply I already solved it and now to work on some scan files
