Set Backsight Circle: Once the circle value of the 
instrument has been set or read, the 
 symbol will be 
replaced with a 
. 
 Store Backsight Point : This button is only available 
when the backsight is defined by a direction instead of a 
point and is used if you want to take a shot and store a 
point for the current backsight. Once stored, the button 
will be replaced by the new point name. 
BS Circle: This is the horizontal angle to set in the 
instrument. This will usually be zero, but when Survey 
with True Azimuths is enabled in the Surveying Settings
screen (Page R-44), this will be the computed azimuth to 
the current backsight. 
 Remote⦠: When connected to a robotic total station, 
this opens the Remote Control screen (Page R-157) to remotely aim 
the total station. This is particularly useful when using a fixed 
backsight with a Smart Target because the Remote Control
 screen 
will then automatically reflect the prism configuration at the 
backsight. 
 Send Circle : This will send the circle entered in the BS Circle field to 
the instrument. 
 Read Circle : Will read the current horizontal angle from the 
instrument and set that as the backsight circle. (Non-zero backsight 
circle values are typically used only when surveying in true 
azimuths.) 
Check Backsight: Once the backsight has been checked by distance 
or angle, the 
 symbol will be replaced with a  . 
 By Distance : will take a shot to a prism located over the backsight 
point and compare the measured distance with the computed distance 
between the occupy and backsight points stored in the current job. 
Note: Checking the backsight by shooting a distance does not apply if 
the backsight is defined by a direction.
