Trimble TSC1 Field Controller Data Collector

Trimble TSC1 Survey Controller
The Trimble System Controller (TSC1) is a powerful handheld field computer with a full alpha-numeric keyboard, a 200 x 240 pixel liquid crystal display (LCD) and two serial communications ports. The TSC1 datalogger contains a proprietary processor based on the Motorola CPU32 core, capable of executing up to 20 MHz. It also has a built-in real-time clock, which is maintained when the unit is powered down.

The hand-held controller is designed and built to withstand weather extremes found in field operations. The large back-lit screen makes it easy to read even in low light. The functional alpha and numeric keypad had large buttons that provide tactile feedback even through gloved hands. A PC expansion slot lets you expand memory.

The TSC1 datalogger has 2 MB of DRAM (working memory) and 2 MB of flash disk memory for data storage, capable of storing about 35,000 GPS positions. A portion of the flash disk memory is allocated to program space, and this is where the Asset Surveyor program files, language files, and help files reside.
