 F2F Conversion
: This converts the more thorough and detailed Carlson Survey field code file (for field-to-finish
work) to the more simplified Feature Code List that runs in FAST Survey. The Feature Code List in FAST Survey
handles Linework (on or off), Line Type (2D or 3D), Layer (= Code) and Full Text (Description).
 Send Points
: The command allows for the sending of a range of points.
 Exit
: This command will exit the File Transfer Utility
 Bluetooth Transfer
: If the mobile device has a Bluetooth emulated serial COM port, the user will be able to select
it from the list, and transfer data from/to another device that has Bluetooth available.
Import/Export
This command allows you to import an ASCII file to job data or export job data to an ASCII file. When you choose this
command, you will see a secondary dialog in which you will be prompted to choose to Import or Export.
Import ASCII File
This command converts point data from an ASCII text file into the FAST Survey format. The source ASCII file can
contain any combination of point number, northing, easting, elevation, and description. You may select any of the
predefined formats or create your own custom format. Since some of these source file formats (like Carlson CRD and
TDS CR5) are not ASCII but are actually binary, Import ASCII file can be used to import points from certain
non-ASCII type files . This next figure shows the Import ASCII dialog box.
 Source File Format
: You must choose the format of the source file. The choices include
User Defined
: For importing most .TXT and .ASC files. The coordinate order in the Choice field is used.
Traverse PC
: For importing Traverse PC .TRV files.
TDS
: For importing TDS .CR5 files. Note that CR5 files can contain point numbers in excess of 32760. If
