Start Recording

Setup of Client, Farm, and Field is not required for Adaptive Curve Track operation but only one Global Adaptive Curve Track can be saved.

1. Choose ADAPTIVE CURVE TRACK mode on the final page in the Setup Wizard (SETUP GUIDANCE TRACK).

   This page can also be accessed with the Quick Change Guidance softkey.

2. Drive to desired location in the field for the start of the track.

3. Start Recording.

   The Adaptive Curve recording softkey is disabled when Repeat Mode is ON. When recording new paths (i.e. Planting), Repeat Mode should be unchecked (Off). When guiding on existing paths (i.e. Spraying, Harvesting) the Repeat Mode button should be checked (On). Repeat Mode is OFF by default.

   To start recording manually, select the Adaptive Curves Start Recording softkey. This softkey will be replaced by the following softkeys after it is selected:
   • Pause Recording
   • Stop Recording
   • Cancel
   
   

   Recording only needs to be turned off if machine is driven outside of normal field pattern (i.e. refill sprayer, planter) or if you do not want to record turns at end of field.

4. Drive the initial pass. A blue guidance track will appear on the map.

   When driving straight, the recorded path may not be shown behind the machine icon on the display. The path will appear when the machine is turned.

   The white high-lighted navigation line will NOT appear until end of pass is reached and machine is turned around. Once machine is turned around, system will determine path to guide on. System locates a line segment that is parallel and within 1/2 to 1-1/2 track spacings. The predicted path will appear from which the operator can navigate from. Drive vehicle along desired path.

5. Turn vehicle at the end of first pass and a white navigation line for the next pass will be generated. It may take a few seconds for the navigation line to appear.

6. Once the white navigation line for the intended pass appears, press resume switch (AutoTrac only) on the machine and the machine will automatically steer on that pass. For Manual Guidance, guide on the white highlighted navigation line.

7. Select Stop Recording when the field is finished.

   STOP recording before entering the next field. Failure to do so may result in deleting the Adaptive Curve data from the last field before recording Adaptive Curve data in the next field.

   The stored Adaptive Curve Track data is assigned to the selected Client, Farm, Field name. It will be stored in the display’s internal memory until it is cleared by the user and can be transferred from one display to another.
