R1 5.44 firmware

R1 5.44 firmware

The new Trimble R1 firmware sets NMEA to output automatically.  If you connect in GNSS Status and set the NMEA output manually, this will lower the buad rate and may cause your software to operate slower.  

Best practice would be to download the 5.44 firmware and follow the directions in the Release Notes to install on the R1: https://www.trimble.com/globalTRL.aspx?nav=Collection-109385 

Then turn on the R1 and set it outside with a clear view of the sky for 15 minutes.

Connect to GNSS Status to set up your real-time source, but do not set it to output NMEA.  Connect to your software, and begin collecting data.
