Keyboard Input

This feature allows you to manually enter or edit coordinates in the current job file or the current control file. The option

to edit points in the control file only appears if Use Control File is enabled in Job Settings. There are fields for Point

ID, Northing, Easting, Elevation and Description. If adding a point to an existing job, FAST Survey displays a point ID

one greater than the highest in the file. If starting with a new job, the point ID will default to 1.

Previous and Next:

These buttons move back and forth through the coordinate file, skipping points with zero

coordinates. The Next button will not store the current data to the file.

Store:

This writes the entered data to the file and advances the display to the next point. If you are editing an

existing point, when you press Store, FAST Survey will warn you that the point number has already been used.

You then have a choice to overwrite this point number or use a new number.

If you want to create a duplicate point, simply change the point number and press

Enter

or Store to save it.

If you a duplicate point with a different elevation, change the point ID and elevation and press

Enter

or Store to save it.

Utilities:

The Utilities button allows the user to modify or delete a point or range of points. The Utilities screen

appears below:
