Pathfinder Office and the Juno ST
The Juno ST handheld is a highly productive yet
affordable, non-rugged GPS receiver for field
data collection and mobile GIS. The Juno ST
handheld is Trimble's most compact, lightweight,
fully-integrated field computer, providing 2 to 5
meter GPS positioning in real time or after
postprocessing. The Juno comes with Windows CE
software installed on the unit which integrates
with Pathfinder Office software installed on the
PC computer. In order to get these programs to
run together, we must install something called
ActiveSync on our PC computers.
2
To transfer data from your Juno ST, you will need
install Microsoft ActiveSync on your PC. 1.
Log on as Administrator, navigate in a web
browser to www.microsoft.com/downloads, search
for ActiveSync in the search bar, and press the
Go button.
3
2. In Search Results click on the ActiveSync 4.5
link... and then click on the Download link to
download the setup.EXE program.
4

• Save the setup.EXE file in C\temp.
• Before you install the software, remove the Juno
  ST from your computer using the USB cable.
• Now, double-click the setup.EXE file to begin the
  download.

You will be prompted twice, simply click the Next
button both times to finish the installation.
5

• We must restart our machine after installation.
  After the software is installed, open ActiveSync
  and a wizard will guide you through the
  connection process.
• First, connect your Juno ST to the PC via your
  USB cable and make sure it is turned on, then
  click Next on the Get Connected screen.
• 8. Wait for a few seconds while ActiveSync
  searches for the Juno ST. If successful, you
  will see the window to the right. Select the No
  option so that your device is set up as a guest,
  then click Next. You do NOT want to set a
  Partnership.

When youre finished you will see the window to
the right and a new, green icon in your tray.
6
If you do not successfully connect, make sure the
Juno ST is powered up and that the USB
connections to the support module and PC are
secure. Remove the Junos USB cable from the PC,
wait about 5 seconds, and then securely replace
it. ActiveSync should try to connect.
If you are still not successful, remove the
Junos USB cable from the PC and restart your PC.
After you log on to your account, and your
desktop is loaded, reconnect the Junos USB
cable. The ActiveSync software will attempt to
connect. When it has successfully connected, you
will see the green icon (it will be grey if it
did not connect) in the system tray. IMPORTANT
NOTE In general, if you log off or restart your
PC, remove the Juno from the PC before you log on
again. Reconnect the Juno to the PC only after
your desktop loads. If you still have problems,
remove the Juno ST from the PC and uninstall the
ActiveSync software (using Add/Remove Programs).
Repeat the installation process, carefully
following all instructions. Once the ActiveSync
software is installed and recognizes the Juno,it
will run in the background. You will use
Pathfinder Office 4.2 to transfer data between
the Juno ST and the PC.

Installing TerraSync
Now that the computer and the rover are able to
communicate with one another, we need to get to
rover to communicate with the satellites. In
order to do this, we will need to install some
software called TerraSync. The TerraSync CD
should have been in the same package as the Juno
and Pathfinder Office.
8
Installing TerraSync
9. When you put the TerraSync CD into the
computer, the Main Menu window should come up.
Select Install.
10. We want to install this software to our Juno
ST, so select Install to a Windows CE device.
9

• You will now see a series of installation
  options. In the Welcome screen, make sure
  that the software will be installed under the
  drive that houses the Program Files and click
  Next.
• Say Yes to agree to the terms and conditions on
  the Software License Agreement screen.
• When you get to the Customer Information
  screen, type in the Serial Number and
  Authorization Key that came with the software.
  Most likely, you will find this information on
  the CD case. When this is done, click Next.
• Type in EAST as the name for the Customer
  Information page and click Next.

10
15. On this screen, check the information that
you have entered.
If it is correct, click Next.
16. A window should have prompted you to click
No towards the beginning of installation. Click
OK here.
17. Click No to install TerraSync in the
default directory. This will allow you install it
in the permanent directory.
11

• The permanent directory is the Disk directory.
  Select Disk from the drop-down list and click
  OK.
• Your installation is now complete!

Now, you should be able to communicate with the
satellites and collect GPS data. The next step
is to transfer a data dictionary to our rover and
move outside for collection.
12
Loading a Data Dictionary
Prior to going outside with your GPS rover to
collect data for your school map, you must load a
data dictionary onto your rover. A data
dictionary is a digital list of point, line, and
area features along with their associated
attributes and values that will be collected
during a field session.
13
Here, we have both the rover and the USB cable.
The power cable can be used to charge the unit,
and to communicate with the computer.

• Connect your USB communications cable to the PC
  computer with Pathfinder Office.
• 2. Turn the unit on.

14

• The data dictionary has been created using
  Trimbles GPS Pathfinder Office application.
• If you havent done so already, you must
  download the data dictionary created for you.
• http//outreach.cast.uark.edu/east/
• SchoolMappingProject/schoolmap.ddf
• To launch Pathfinder Office, go to the Start
  menu, and then to All Programs.
• Look for the GPS Pathfinder Office folder. Then
  click on the icon for GPS Pathfinder Office.

4. The Select Project window is the first
window you will see when Pathfinder Office opens
up. Click the New button.
5. For project name, type School Map. Click
OK. Then click OK in the Select Project
window.
7. When the data transfer window opens up, wait
for the communications port to make the
connection. When the connection is made, click
on the Send tab and Add Data Dictionary.
6. Now go to the Utilities menu and select Data
Transfer.

8. Browse for and select the data dictionary
that you downloaded with the data for this
exercise. Click Open.
9. Click on Transfer All and wait for the file
to complete the transfer.
10. Once the transfer is complete, you will see
a message similar to the one above, indicating
the success of your transfer. Click the Close
button.

Now, to configure your GPS for recording data,
refer to the section which addresses your
specific unit. (Geo II, Geo 3, XM or Juno ST.)
