Route - Leica MX400 Operating Instructions Manual

Route

Route
There are two RTE screens. The NAV functions are highly
interactive with the RTE1 screen. The RTE2 screen allows you to
create a pool of predetermined routes that you might use often, so
you need only create the route one time. Routes are created from
waypoints. All waypoints are stored in the Waypoint Bank, regard-
less of which function is used to create them. Waypoints are either
created in the Waypoint Bank (WPT1), created by the GOTO
function, selected from the PLOT screens in conjunction with the
GOTO function, or from New Waypoints that can be defined in the
Route Insert menu (and simultaneously stored in the route and the
Waypoint Bank).
We recognize the diverse needs of professional users. We have
designed the route features to be very flexible to meet a wide range
of users' requirements by allowing up to 2000 waypoints to be
stored between all of the routes. You can create up to 100 routes,
with any number of waypoints, providing the maximum number of
2000 waypoints between all routes is not exceeded.
The Route (RTE) function serves two purposes:
1. The RTE1 screen provides all of the current, or active waypoint
navigation data to the Navigate and Plot screens and is referred
to as the Active Route. Therefore, whenever you begin a new trip
or voyage, you should erase the previous voyage's waypoints in
this screen, then insert the new waypoints or routes (from RTE2)
for the new voyage. If you want to store the waypoints from the
previous active route for future use, you can copy these
waypoints in the order which they were entered to the Route
Bank in the RTE2 screen. This is described in the RTE2 - The
Route Bank section of this manual. If you do not clear the RTE1
screen (refer to Erasing An Existing Route section of this
manual), the RTE1 screen will grow each time you add new
waypoints to the route. The route function can hold a maximum
of 2000 waypoints between the routes stored in RTE1 and RTE2.
2. The RTE2 screen provides storage space for up to 100 user
defined routes. You can predefine routes, or copy new routes
from the RTE1 (active route) screen. Later you can choose
individual routes or link two or more routes in the RTE1 screen
