Can anyone direct me to guidance on how to load, view, process Trimble DC files? I have several.DC files that I want to look. I can't find. When you select the Edit-Process Raw Data File command you are prompted to specify. Trimble (.dc) 3TA5 (.TXT. When the rw5 is opened in the raw file editor. Hi all, Just want to make you aware of the issues with importing Trimble DC files into the Survey- Edit-Process Raw Data function. If you import. Transfer data between Terramodel and Trimble Survey, GPS or Machine Control equipment. Open Trimble DC File Editor via Windows Start menu. In Windows Start. Transfer data between Terramodel and Trimble Survey. Open Trimble DC File Editor via Windows Start menu. Transfer the DC file to Trimble data folder on TSC2.
