to drill rig 78 by actuating joystick 148 commands which may be issued to the drill rig by the operator include but are not limited to 1 roll orientation for steering direction purposes 2 u201c advance u201d and 3 u201c retract u201d it should be appreciated that the ability to issue these commands from locator controller 140 in essence provides for complete boring tool locating and control capability from locator controller 140 a locator controller command is implemented using cpu 144 to read operator actuations of the joystick interpret these actuations to establish the operator 39 s intended command and then transfer the command to remote transceiver 146 for transmission to the command drill rig telemetry transceiver 106 at the drill rig as will be described immediately hereinafter still referring fig2 4 control commands are entered by using display 150 in conjunction with joystick 148 display 150 includes an enhanced roll orientation steering display 154 having a clock face 156 which shows clock positions 1 through 12 these clock positions represent the possible steering directions in which boring tool 90 may be set to travel that is the axis of the boring tool is assumed to extend through a center position 158 of the clock display and perpendicular to the plane of the figure the desired roll orientation is.
