 EDM Mode:
Available methods are rapid and fine.
 Target Offset:
Enter the prism offset here.
 Zero Hz Angle to Target
: This option specifies whether or not FAST Survey will set the horizontal angle of the
total station to zero in the direction towards the stakeout point. When stakeout is completed, the horizontal angle is
set back to the original value. This option only applies to Sokkia total stations or to total stations such as Nikon
which have a “Sokkia emulation” mode.
The driver applies to all current Sokkia total stations, including the 110M when used in manual mode. It also applies to
many non-Sokkia instruments which have a Sokkia or “Set” emulation mode, including Nikon, Pentax and Topcon. The
advantage of Sokkia emulation is that the Sokkia driver includes a “2-way” setting that will upload configuration
settings into the instrument such as units, prism constant and the backsight circle. Most important, for stakeout, the
“2-way” setting will upload the angle to turn, so that you turn to zero to get on target. The Sokkia Series 30R is
reflectorless.
The “On” key is the upper right, which takes you to the “Measure” screen where it is ready to work with FAST Survey.
Commands would not be accepted, for example, if you were in the “Config” screen. Use the instrument to activate
reflectorless mode, and in FAST Survey, be sure to set target height to zero. The gun will control prism offset in
non-prism modes
Sokkia Motorized Series
This driver is necessary to utilize the motorized features of the motorized instruments. For example, in stakeout, it will
turn to the point automatically. The motorized features will turn to the appropriate horizontal and vertical angle in most
commands when the instrument is set to “Remote” mode.
