Mark Position; Goto O; Light - Leica MX400 Operating Instructions Manual

Keypad & Display Description
the power on/off key.
The ten function keys with alpha abbreviations on them are
described in the ensuing chapters. The eight function keys with
symbols are described below.
The function keys are also used in the edit mode to enter alpha-
numeric information into screen data fields.

Mark Position

This function key stores your present position, date and time at the
next available waypoint location in the Waypoint Bank. A window
pops up on the screen to confirm your key depression, and to tell
you where the mark position is being stored. You can go into the
WPT menu and edit the coordinates or description later. The
receiver is also capable of performing this function from a remote
contact closure input via pins 6 and 11 on the 31 pin connector.
Refer to the Installation & Service Manual for interface instruc-
tions.

GOTO O

This function key allows you to quickly create a route from your
present position to one other waypoint. This single waypoint route
can use an existing waypoint from the Waypoint Bank, or you can
quickly create one by either defining the appropriate coordinates or
specifying a range and bearing. This is a great asset when you are
trying to render aid to someone in distress and you don't have time
to manipulate complicated menu structures.
Be careful when you use this selection, as it will erase your current
active route when it creates the new one. Read through the ROUTE
and PLOT sections of this manual to find other ways to use this key
within an active route.

LIGHT

This function key allows you to quickly switch between two
predetermined display lighting conditions. You can have two
daytime settings, two night time settings, or a daytime/night time
setting. Select the CFG function key and scroll down to the
Lighting menu choice to make the desired adjustments. Refer to the
Version 3.3
