Carlson Field Icon Menu

The Carlson Field Icon Menu lets you select Carlson Field functions by pressing a function key F1-F10 or by picking the icon button. The set of commands that are available in this menu depends of the type of survey equipment that you are configured to. Before running these Carlson Field functions, you need to run Configure Field to set the equipment type and communication parameters.

There are two ways to bring up the icon menu. One way is by picking the Start Carlson Field icon. This start icon is displayed in the lower right of your screen when the Show Startup Icon option is on as set in Configure Field under General Settings. You can close the Start Carlson Field icon for the current drawing session by clicking the X in the icon title bar. To bring back the Start Carlson Field icon you can use the F11 key. The Start Carlson Field icon is only displayed when no commands are running. The other way to show the Carlson Field function menu is to pick the Menu(F11) button while running other Carlson Field commands. This method allows you to switch between Carlson Field functions without having to exit back to the CAD menu. For example, you can switch from Point Store directly to Stakeout.
