  ^^^ not the battery compartment, but on the bottom of the receiver

    You can use free download configuration utility to have your unit log data everytime you start it instructions here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy2toL1tmik

  The method as described in the reply by Mark Sidler works. I personally generally collect Static data using both of my base and rover receivers at the same time. I have Survey Style set up in my TSC II named R8 Static. I set it up to stir the data's on the receiver rather than the TSC II data collector with my epochs set at 15 second interval.
  Downloading this data requires you to connect the receiver to you computer using the 9 pin cable and the port located inside the battery compartment of the receiver.
  This is just how I do things. Hope this helps.

  Start the base in RTK + Infill   This will collect data on the Base.  Might check the Survey Styles settings in the RTK+ Infill to make sure the data logging is on the Receiver not the Controller.  The rover can be in RTK as it does not need to log the static data.

  When you done shut down the RTK+Infill survey.  Down load the file into TGO or Trimble Office and convert to Rinex for submittal to OPUS.

  Once in a while you may need to hold the ON button on the Base  R8 for at least 1 minute which will clear out the old files so that there is room for new ones.  But it will hold quite a few sessions.

  Hope that helps

    Marcus, Thanks for sharing this!

    What is starting the base in "RTK+Infill" and how is that done. I realize now from your response that I probably should have mentioned that I run the R8s with with a Ranger 3 running Survey Pro 5.5.1.

    Apparently when you say to start the base in RTK+Infill, the RTK+Infill is a software command in Trimble software, is that a good guess? Is this command activated through the data collector software and starts the internal logging of the data file that will later be downloaded from the R8 for the OPUS solution,

    What is TGO?

    I really appreciate your help with my trying to understand this process! Thanks!
