Introduction to FAST Survey
FAST Survey is a software program intended for advanced
land surveying. FAST Survey can be used with the following
Spectra Precision GNSS receivers:
• ProMark 500, 700, 800
• ProMark 100, 120, 200, 220
• ProFlex 500, 800
• EPOCH 50
In its standard version, FAST Survey allows you to perform the
following types of surveys.
• Logging positions of points in the coordinate system used.
• Staking out points, straight lines and curves, with or
without offset, while providing the specific information
needed as you do that, including cut and fill information
(in 3D).
• Logging GNSS raw data (post-processed projects or as
backup to real-time RTK projects).
• Entering attributes, based on feature code lists, as you
store new points, in a way much similar to GIS mobile
software.
FAST Survey includes various tools to assist surveyors in their
projects. Some of these tools are listed below.
• Monitoring GNSS reception and current position status
• Writing notes to be appended to job files
• Creating and saving local coordinate systems through
localization
• Setting height references (arbitrary, DTMs, etc.)
• GNSS utilities (Send command, reset RTK)
• Interfacing with total stations. FAST Survey can also
support different peripherals as inputs (lasers, depth
sounders) or outputs (light bars)
As software options, FAST Survey offers the following
functions:
• Set of COGO tools
• ROAD tools, including a map editor to prepare maps for
use as visual background information while surveying.
This editor operates in a way much similar to an AutoCad
editor.
This Getting Started Guide only deals with FAST Survey’s
basic functions. For more information on this program and its
software options, see the FAST Survey Reference Manual.
