TBC Antenna Configuration Utility

Post by Jim Frame »

After many hair-pulling exercises, I'm about ready to admit defeat in adding custom antenna models to Trimble Business Center. I've edited files and modified the Windows registry, but nothing I've done has enabled my TBC install to see the custom models. I don't know what kind of magic the Trimble Configuration Utility works, but it appears to be the only viable method of updating the antenna models available in TBC.

The problem for me is that the last update is dated May 8, and the new Javad antennas aren't included. (I'll leave the old Ashtech PM2 antenna for another day.)

I'm not under a current maintenance contract, so Trimble Support doesn't want to talk to me. If anyone who has Trimble's ear would care to hammer on them to update the config utility to reflect the current NGS absolute antex models, I'd be grateful.

after using Trimble in one form or another for the past 10 years, the one thing I learned is Trimble only likes Trimble, cross breeding doesn't work and results in issues.
