Circle Track

The Current Field is not related to Farm/Field information in Field Doc, Combine Yield Mapping or Harvest Doc.

NOTE: A PC Data Card is not required for Circle Track Operation. If no data card is present, coordinates for one circle center can be saved to the GreenStar Display.

If PC data card is present, Current Field-Circle Center coordinates for Fields 1-250 are saved to the PC Card in Circle Track Mode. Circle Center coordinates assigned to that field number will remain saved until a new Circle Center is assigned to that number. To avoid overwriting Circle Center information, change the Current Field number before creating a new Center Circle.

NOTE: When system is powered up, display defaults to last CURRENT FIELD number selected when it was shut down. If no CURRENT FIELD information has been stored display, it will default to selection 1.
