5 Trimble® Handheld Computer Preparation
Note: The Trimble Nomad has traditionally been the default handheld PC used with the Envision gas
analyzer. Although other handheld units have been recently introduced, this section of the manual has
been retained for reference.
The Trimble handheld computer is the prime driver for the Envision® gas analyzer. The Trimble
handheld computer, provided with the Envision® gas analyzer package, has already been prepared for
field use. A screen protector has already been applied to your Trimble unit. An extra screen protector
has been included in the packaging.
The operational software for the Envision® Gas Analyzer has been installed at the factory. The Trimble
handheld computers operate on the Microsoft Mobile 6.0, 6.1, or 6.5 operating systems. The features
on the Trimble are similar to those on the standard Microsoft XP and Vista operating systems found on
many desktops and laptops. For general information on the features of the Trimble Nomad and
Windows Mobile 6.0, 6.1, or 6.5 please refer to the supplemental information provided in the packaging
of the Envision® Gas Analyzer.
5.1 Turning on the Trimble Handheld Computer
To turn on the Trimble handheld computer, the user must press the green power button located at the
lower left side of the Trimble keypad.
