 ALT-I
: Inverse. Does a quick inverse, and upon exit, returns you to the command you were in. Inverse is also
accessible from the Helmet in the upper left of the screen, in many commands including Store Points.
 ALT-J
: Joystick. Applies only to robotic total station. Takes you to the Settings option. ALT-J typically only
functions if you are configured for a robotic total station. ALT-J will work from within data gathering commands,
most stakeout commands (eg. Stake Points) and from the main menus.
 ALT-L
: List, as in Feature Code List. When entered in any Description field, this will recall the Feature Code List,
which displays the characteristics (layer/linework) of the feature code. This serves not only as a way to select the
code and apply it to the description, but it also serves as a handy reminder of the code’s properties. Helmet-Codes
also goes to the Feature Code List.
 ALT-M
: Map Screen. ALT-M will switch to the map screen.
 ALT-N
: Next. Moves you to the Next point or station in the Stakeout commands.
 ALT-T
: Traverse. Takes a reading and advances the setup to the measured point. The instrument setup dialog is
presented for verification. Applies when in the Store Points routine.
 ALT-V
: Shortcut to View the Raw Data, Point Data, Feature Codes and Cutsheets.
 ALT-W
: Write a Note anytime with this command. Notes store to the Raw File.
 ALT-X
: Shortcut to Exit most commands. Similar to Esc (escape key).
 ?
: The ‘?’ character can be used in any field that requires a numerical entry to access the Calculator. (The Sokkia
SDR8100 is an exception. This device uses the ‘=’ symbol.)
In most measurement screens you can also select the FAST Survey Helmet icon at the top left to access the hot list of
shortcuts to other routines. Depending on what commands you are in, or if a Bluetooth devices is involved (Reconnect
option), the Helmet options appear as shown:
While in any Topo (Store Points) or Stakeout routine, a number of features are accessible by pressing ALT, followed by
the corresponding Hot Key. Below is a list of Hot Keys arranged by routine and equipment type.
