Changing the Header Information

The first few lines of any Trimble DC10.70 file contain some basic information about the job. These lines must be formatted properly to read into the device. Some of the information in these first few lines is instrument and version specific.

To edit the header information for the files that TPC writes, open SDR2X.DAT or SDR3X.DAT found To edit the header information for the files that TPC writes, open TrimbleDC10-70.dat found in the program data folder.
