 Settings:
This button leads to a series of settings screens that allow you to dial in the speed of motion, range of
motion, and other factors governing arrow-key driven movement and automatic searching.
Store Points (TS)
This command is designed for total stations and manual entry. It is the principal data collection routine with total
stations. Store Points interacts with numerous settings, including the feature codes that will draw line work. All
settings in Configure Reading will impact Store Points, including the Number of Distance Readings, Average Direct
& Reverse, Hgt/Desc Prompt on Save, Angle Only in Reverse Face and Function of Enter Key. See File, Feature Code
List, for discussion of drawing linework, symbols, Line Details and Point Details (option to re-measure existing points).
Foresights
The Foresight screen is entered automatically after exiting the Backsight screen. In the backsight screen, if the green
checkmark ("OK") is active, you can go directly to the Foresight screen by pressing Enter or clicking the icon itself.
And if you turn off "Prompt for Total Station Setup" within Configure, you go directly to the foresight screen if there is
already a valid backsight. There are two major types of Foresight Screens: (1) Standard Total Station, (2) Robotic
Total Station. See the Store Points (GPS) section of this manual for more information on GPS. Only total station
screens will be discussed here.
Standard Total Station Foresight Screen
Store Points (standard sideshots and traverses) can be run in either full graphics mode or full text mode. The Text screen
is accessed by tapping the helmet in the upper left and selecting Text. To go back to graphics, click the helmet and
select Graph. Graphic backgrounds can include linework that you create yourself using commands such as PL and 2DP
and O2 (offset) in the Map view. Graphics can also include drawings that you import from DXF using the command
IDXF (“in” DXF) found in the Map view of FAST Survey. When you exit FAST Survey, this linework can be
configured to “save on exit” and stay associated with your point file. Note that linework drawn by feature codes or
IDXF is on layers which can be “frozen” (hidden) or “thawed” (shown) by the Layer command under View in the Map
screen. The Text and Graphic screens are shown below.
