Remote Control
Remote control mode is a special mode that makes it possible for
users to control a fully robotic total station from a remote data
collector.
Remote control mode contains additional screens that are used
exclusively with robotic instruments that perform tracking and
aiming functions. The behavior of the software differs slightly in
remote mode when a shot is taken and when performing stake out.
The remote control functions are available only after the robotic
module is purchased, and a supported robotic total station is selected
and enabled in the Settings screen.

station. It is used to control the total station to have a view of the
prism and to activate search and tracking functions.
The Remote Control screen can be accessed in the
following ways:
• Tap the Remote… button from any screen that
includes it.
• Use the , Remote Quick Pick, if available.
• Select
. Survey , Remote Control from the Main
Menu.

the following functions:
You can turn the total station in any direction using the
arrow keys on the keypad. As you face the total station,
pressing an arrow key will start moving the total station
in that direction. The total station will continue moving
until the button is released. These keys are typically used to get the
total station to aim in the general vicinity of the prism.
