    Multiple – Implement Viewer

    • Precision Ag Applications appear on second display.
    • ISOBUS implements appear on CommandCenter™ or second display depending on the “Next VT display” setting of implement. NOTE: If ISOBUS implement does not have “Next VT display” function, implement appears on display that starts up first.

    Multiple Display – Precision Ag Applications

    • Precision Ag Applications appear on CommandCenter™
    • ISOBUS implements appear on second display or CommandCenter™ depending on the "Next VT display" setting of implement.
