Creating a New FAST Survey Job

OK. You can then create a new FAST Survey job, as explained
further.
When you register FAST Survey in a Magellan MobileMapper
CX, the code is automatically and safely saved at the end of
the registration procedure.
With a Juniper Allegro CX, you need to perform a RAM backup
or a System Save to be sure your authorization code will not
be lost when you next reboot your Allegro CX. If you cannot
find this option on the Allegro CX Start menu, then open the
Control Panel and choose RAM backup.
1. Turn on the field terminal and wait until the boot
sequence is complete.
2. Make sure the clock is set properly before starting FAST
Survey.
3. Double-tap
4. Tap the Select New/Existing Job button. This opens the
Coordinate Files window.
5. Tap on the highlighted "crd" file name located at the
bottom of the screen. This opens FAST Survey's virtual
keyboard with the file name now appearing above.
6. Using the keyboard, type in the name of the "crd" file in
which FAST Survey will store the data you will collect
during your job.
7. Tap
. This takes you back to the Coordinate Files
window where your file name now appears in the Name
field.
8. Tap
again. This opens the Job Settings window, which
consists of five different tabs on which you can set a large
number of parameters pertaining to the job (or future
jobs).
Only the parameters that make sense with a GNSS system
are presented below. All other parameters should be kept
with their default settings.
On the System tab:
– Distance: Choose the unit in which all measured
distances will be expressed (US Survey Feet, Metric or
International Feet). Unless "Metric" is selected, you
can also choose the units in which distances will be
to launch FAST Survey.
