1. Introduction

This manual explains how to implement and use the Z-Max system in RTK or post-

processing surveying modes, using the FAST Survey software installed on the

handheld computer.

Note that this manual focuses on two basic survey functions: Store Points and

Stakeout Points. Note also that the functions supported by FAST Survey to control

conventional systems are not discussed in this manual. For more information on

these functions, please refer to the FAST Survey Reference Manual provided on CD-

ROM.

Likewise, the procedure to download land survey projects from the GNSS Studio

software is not discussed in this manual either. For more information on this proce-

dure, please refer to the GNSS Studio Office Software User Manual provided on

GNSS Studio Office Software CD-ROM.

If you need information to help you install the base and rover systems, please refer

to the Z-Max Surveying System Pocket Guide.

In the last chapter (Appendices), you will find a number of installation and re-in-

stallation procedures that might be useful to you in case of problems with your

handheld computer.

2. Main Screens

MENU Screen

This screen shows 5 different tabs giving access to the main functions of FAST Sur-

vey. Although all function titles on each tab are self-explanatory, a more detailed

definition of these functions is provided in the next pages.

The right arrow located in the upper-right corner of the MENU screen allows you

to access the MAP screen (see page 7).

File tab

Job: Allows you to select an

existing coordinate file for

your job or to create a new co-

ordinate file. A job consists of

real-time data only. Several

types of files are associated

with a job (.crd, .rw5,.inf,

etc.).

Job Settings: Allows you to

set configuration options for

data collection

List Points: Lists all of the

points in the current coordi-

nate file (.crd)

Configure Reading: Allows you to select settings and preferences that apply to ob-

servations taken in the field

Feature Code List: Used to define feature code lists

Data Transfer: Prepares FAST Survey for transferring data to and from a PC

Import/Export ASCII: Allows you to import an ASCII file to job data or export

job data to an ACSII file

Delete File: Allows you to remove any existing file from any directory to free up

memory on the handheld computer

Add Job Notes: Allows you to enter job notes as ASCII text

Exit: Will exit the FAST Survey program.

Equip tab

Instrument: Allows you to set

the equipment type that you

will be using (Z-Max, Z-

Xtreme)

Configure Base: Sets up the

base antenna and record the

correct antenna height, the an-

tenna type and the methods

used for localizing

Configure Rover: Used to set

the rover receiver to the cor-

rect parameters and to instruct

the receiver that it is a rover

Receiver Utilities: Resets and/or troubleshoots the GPS receiver. Sets radio/GSM

parameters.

Localization: Allows you to align on a local coordinate system

Monitor/Skyplot: Allows you to review position and quality of data

Tolerances: Allows you to set operating tolerances

Comm Setup: Allows you to specify communication parameters for the handheld

computer to be able to communicate with the GPS receiver (serial cable, Bluetooth)

About FAST Survey: Allows you to view information about FAST Survey and

change your registration.

Surv tab

Store Points: Principal data

collection routine (gives ac-

cess to the Point Logging

function)

Stakeout Points: Allows you

to stakeout to a selected point

by guiding you to the point

with a series of commands and

directions (Point Stakeout

function)

Stakeout Line/Arc: Opens a

secondary dialog where you

can choose between Stake

Line, Stake Centerline, Stake Arc (3 points) and Stake Arc (PC, R, PT)

Offset Stakeout: Will stake out up to 2 user defined horizontal offsets to a center-

line at any station as well as an unlimited number of offsets per station if you are

using a predefined Cutsheet Station and Offset List

Elevation Difference: Will report a cut/fill in comparison with your current loca-

tion to a design surface at any location within a project

Auto by Interval: Allows you to acquire and store data at a set interval value of

either distance or time (Point Logging performed at regular intervals of time or dis-

tance)

Log Static Data: Allows you to log static raw data to the data card for use with

GNSS Studio Post Processing software.

COGO tab

Keyboard Input: Allows you

to manually enter or edit coor-

dinates in the current job file

or the current control file

Inverse: Reports the bearing

and horizontal distance be-

tween any two user specified

points that are contained with-

in the current job

Areas: Calculates the area of a

closed figure that is defined

internally by user-entered

point numbers contained

within the current job or by a

polyline picked from the screen

Intersections: Allows for the calculation and storing of points based upon standard

surveying practices of Bearing-Bearing, Bearing-Distance, or Distance-Distance

Intersection calculations

Point Projection: Allows you to calculate the station and offset of any entered or

surveyed point relative to a known centerline or baseline

Station Store: A pure calculation routine that will create point numbers based on a

station and offset from an alignment

Transformation: Allows you to translate, rotate, and/or scale points in the current

job

Calculator: Eliminates the need to carry a separate calculator in the field. The cal-

culator can be used to do scientific computations, standard calculations, conver-

sions, triangle calculations including angles, and curve calculations.

Process Raw File: Creates a raw file (.RW5) that contains various lines of survey

data similar to a surveyor’s field book

Point in Direction: Allows for manual entry of angles and distances and calculates

sideshots or traverses from a known occupied point.

Road tab

Input/Edit Centerln: Used

to enter new centerlines and

recall/edit existing centerline

files

Draw Centerline: Draws the

selected centerline on the

screen

Input/Edit Profile: Allows

field entry of vertical align-

ment files for roads, sewers

and other types of alignments

Draw Profile: Draws the se-

lected profile on the screen

Input/Edit Template: Used to enter templates, for roads, levees, ditches and other

such earthwork

Draw Template: Draws the selected template on the screen

Slope Staking: Used to calculate and stake out the location of the “catch point”

where fill slopes or cut slopes contact the original ground

Cross Section Survey: Collects as-built cross sections of roads or other alignments

and stores them as points

Road Utilities: Converts centerlines, profiles and cross sections from other formats

to the formats used by FAST Survey

Template Stakeout: Designed to stakeout specific stations and offsets along a cen-

terline.
