GPS Status

This is used to view the current status and access the settings for a

GPS receiver when using the GeoLock feature (Page 147). This is only

available from the Remote Control and Remote Shot screens when
using a supported robotic total station.

Parts of a Screen

Many screens share common features. To

illustrate some of these features, we will

examine parts of the Backsight Setup screen,
shown here. You can access the Backsight
Setup screen by selecting

.

Survey ,

Backsight Setup from the Main Menu.

Input Fields

An input field is an area where a specific value is entered by the user.

An input field consists of a point label, which identifies the data that
is to be entered in that field. It has a rectangular area with a white

background, where the data is entered. A field must first be selected

before data can be entered in it. You can select a field by tapping on
it or pressing the [Tab] key on the data collector repeatedly until it is

selected. When a field is selected, a dark border is drawn around it

and a blinking cursor is inside the field. In the Backsight Setup

screen above, the Occupy Point field is selected.

Output Fields

Output fields only display information. These fields typically display
values in bold text, do not have a special colored background, and

the value cannot be changed from the current screen. For example, in

the Backsight Setup screen, the Backsight Circle value is an output
field.
