instrument.

Many of the older instrument could be set to operate as different models. These include
T1000, T1600 and T2000 modes. Set FAST Survey to match your instrument. Two different models are available
for T1000 with a one-row keyboard, and T1000 with two-row keyboard. Choose the appropriate one.
