Arrow Keys for Joystick
ALT-J will take you directly to the robotics dialog from elsewhere in the program. The arrow-key motion is sometimes
referred to as the Joystick Speed.
Leica:
Tapping once in the direction you want (e.g. up) causes the instrument to move slowly, two taps medium, and 3
taps fast speed. Tapping the other direction (e.g. down) stops the movement.
Geodimeter/Trimble:
Press the arrow key once. After a small delay, the instrument will move an incremental amount.
Do not rush too many presses as they all will be completed.
Topcon:
Holding down the arrow keys on the keypad of the CE data collector allows you to move the base instrument
up and down, left and right. When you release the key, the motion stops.
 Search:
This button will initiate a search to look for the prism or reflector. For Leica, Search initiates an ATR
search. Pressing the Search or Quick-Lock buttons will lock the instrument to the prism and put the instrument
back into tracking mode.
 PowerSearch:
For Leica, the PowerSearch option will conduct a fast search, typically less than 10 seconds.
PowerSearch
will find the prism regardless of the original direction the instrument is pointing.
 QuickLock:
Topcon has an additional search option called Quick-Lock which appears when configured for
Topcon 800/8000 Remote using RC2. A Quick-Lock search will find the prism in less than 15 seconds.
 Standby:
This button takes the instrument out of tracking mode. This is useful, for example, in allowing the user to
set the prism pole down to drive a stake.
 Turn to Angle:
This button opens an additional dialog that prompts you for the angle to turn (which can be
entered, picked from the Map, or point-based). See the figure below. You can turn to a known point number or to
an entered horizontal and zenith angle using Turn Angle. When enabled, the Search After Turn option, searches
and locks on a prism after turning the angle (potentially changing slightly the computed angle). Change Face
reverses the face. The lower three buttons (Turn Left 90, Turn 180 and Turn Right 90) are common angle turns
and minimize user entry when needed.
