JCMBsoft's Utilities

This web page is available in a number of locations

jcmbsoft.tripod.com The Tripod site has a been discontinued since there were a number of problems

trimbletools.com/jcmbsoft, external site available on TrimbleTools.com, This is the recommended external site.

Welcome to the JCMBsoft official home page. Please use the navigation bar on the left to move around the site.

These are NOT Trimble supported tools. Support is done ONLY by Geoffrey Kirk only (GeoffreyKirk @ Gmail.com)

Please note that Internet explorer users will often have to right click then select save target as, to download Awk files. After download you may have to rename the file from .HTML to .Awk. Real Browsers do not have any of this problems.

You must download the correct support packages to use the Windows and AWK programs.

Note on Trimble SPSxx1 and SPSxx2 receiver support.

    The Trimble SPSxx1/2 receivers have login authentication, none of the JCMBsoft tools support login authentication, so if the program configures the receiver then it will not work.

    To work around this, either get the Login option turned off on your receiver, or connect with SCS900 to the receiver and unplug SCS900 once it is running, since SCS900 will have logged in.

  • RT_Traffic, even more commands decoded.
  • CMR_Test, program to simulate a number of CMR problems
  • RTK_Monitor, replaces CNR_Monitor, provides detailed information on the RTK solution and useful test tools. Very useful when trying to work out why RTK is not working correctly
  • Pos_Monitor, provides monitors positions in real time from a receiver
  • Remote_Front, remote front panel for SPSx50 receivers
