Installing Topcon Software

The Topcon GPS+ CD includes the following software programs used
for configuring and maintaining the receiver. This software is also
available on the TPS website at www.topconpositioning.com to
registered users.

If installing the program(s) from the GPS+ CD, insert the CD into the
computer’s CD-ROM drive. If downloading the program(s) from the
website, extract the program’s files into a folder on the hard drive.

The following sections describe installing this software, and other
sections throughout the manual describe using this software with the
receiver.

Installing PC-CDU

PC-CDU™ is a comprehensive Windows® software product
designed for controlling GPS+ receivers developed by Topcon
Positioning Systems. PC-CDU uses the GPS Receiver Interface
Language (GRIL) to configure various receiver settings and diagnose
receiver performance.

The PC-CDU software exists in two versions: a full-functionality
version called PC-CDU MS and a reduced-functionality version
called PC-CDU Lite. PC-CDU Lite is available for free on the Topcon
website (www.topconpositioning.com) or the GPS+ CD.

Computer requirements for PC-CDU are: Windows® 98 or newer and
an RS-232C or USB port, or Bluetooth capable. Use PC-CDU version
2.1.15 or newer to correctly configure the receiver.

• PC-CDU Lite

ver. 2.1.15 or newer

• Modem-TPS

ver. 2.2p2 or newer

• BTCONF

ver. 1.3

or newer

• FLoader

ver 1.0.07 or newer

NOTICE
