A read function is required to update the directional display information. You should see your points in the map with an
icon showing your target location (the circle with the X inside).
Measurements are taken typically by pressing Enter. Enter also transitions automatically from the Stake Points entry
screen to the Stk Pt measurement screens above. Point Stakeout can be conducted without touching the screen, using
the Enter key and entering point IDs using the keyboard. Both screens are explained below, starting with the graphic
Stk Pt screen.
 Total Station or Robotic Total Station running Direct
: After reading and taking the shot, the display will be
updated with a distance and direction to the stakeout point. Buttons on the right from top to bottom are Read,
Store, Next, Menu, Configure and Setup. Enter is treated as R for Read. Pressing S (or "Store to Collector" icon,
2nd from top right) will go to the Stakeout Report screen and allow you to write to the "cutsheet" file the cuts and
fills and optionally to store the measurement as a new point ID.
 GPS or Robotic Total Station with Tracking On:
Your current position is read immediately (no Read button
needed). R takes a fresh reading. If you press R for Read or S for Store, you will go to the Stakeout Report
Screen. Enter is treated as R for Read and takes a fresh reading, then proceeds to the Stakeout Report screen. If
you are outside of accuracy tolerance, you will be warned and asked if you wish to proceed. In the Stakeout
Report
screen, you can save your cut and fill data to a cutsheet file and optionally store a new point ID based on
the fresh measurement taken. If you click off tracking, then the angle to turn for staking is displayed, same as with
regular total stations running direct. With robotic total stations, if you are locked on and tracking, you will see
instantaneous instructions on directions to move to the point, meaning that you do not neeed to take a reading to
locate the point. Just move to the point based on the instructions. If the screen is not updating, it is recommended
to turn off lock and then re-acquire lock by tapping the lock icon twice, verifying that tracking also is on. Then the
instructions to move will stream in real-time.
 Robotic and Motorized Total Stations, "Turn to Point"
: In Total Station, Search Tab (Equip menu, or
