Survey Remote Control

.

Remote control mode is a special mode that makes it easier for users
to control fully robotic total stations from a remote data collector.

Note: The remote control functions are available only after a
supported robotic total station is selected and enabled in the
Instrument Settings screen.

The Remote Control screen allows you to turn the total station in any

direction using the arrow buttons on the keypad and control the
tacking functions.
The arrow keys are typically used to get the total station to aim in the

general vicinity of the prism prior to initiating a search. The total
station will continue to turn in the direction of the button as long as

the button remains pressed.

Ï

: aims the scope upward.

Ð

: aims the scope downward.

Î

: turns the scope to the right (as you face the total

station from the data collector).

Í

: turns the scope to the left.

GeoLock : This button is available when GeoLock is

enabled and when a supported total station has lost lock

on the prism. Tapping it will turn the total station to the
area of the prism computed by the GPS solution, followed

by a prism search. (See the User’s Manual for more
information on using GeoLock.)

Search : starts the search routine where the total station

searches in a specific pattern until it “sees” the prism
and then stops.

Lock : puts the total station in track mode where it will track the

movements of the prism.
