• Steering Sensitivity

Path Accuracy Indicator—Is a visual indicator of off-track error. The indicator consists of eight arrows on each side of the off-track error box. The arrows will light up indicating the direction the vehicle must be steered to get back on the A-B line. Each arrow represents a distance. This distance is defined in the GUIDANCE SETTINGS tab under Accuracy Bar Step Size.

Example: The bar step size has been set to 10 cm (4 in.). This means that each arrow that lights up represents 10 cm (4 in.) of off-track error. If two arrows are lit up on the left side of the Path Accuracy Indicator it would represent the vehicle being 20 cm (8 in.) to the right of the desired A-B line. Thus the operator must steer the vehicle 20 cm (8 in.) to the left to get to the desired A-B line.

Off-track error—Total off-track error is numerically displayed in the box. Off-track error will be displayed in inches up to 99 cm (35 in.) of off-track error. If off-track error exceeds 99 cm (35 in.) the distance displayed will change to meters (feet).

Track number—Represents the track number the vehicle is guiding off of. It also tells which direction the track is located from the original Track 0 set for the field.

AutoTrac deactivation message—Each time AutoTrac is deactivated text is displayed indicating the reason why AutoTrac deactivated, in the upper left corner of the perspective view. Messages are also displayed as to why AutoTrac did not activate. The deactivation messages display for 3 seconds and then disappear. These messages can be turned off and on from the Guidance Settings tab.

AutoTrac Deactivation Messages

Turn Predictor/Headland Alert—A visual indicator is displayed 10 seconds before approaching a predicted turning point or headland (must be defined). When the system detects a predicted turning point or headland, the distance to that turning point or headland will be displayed and will count down the intersection to that turning point or headland. The visual indication is accompanied by tones.

NOTE: If a headland boundary is defined and headland indicator is selected it will be displayed instead of turn predictor.

Guidance Icon—The icon represents the implement and the pointer on the icon represents the center of the implement. The icon changes width based upon the entered implement width.

GPS Indicator—Indicates what level of accuracy the StarFire receiver is currently operating at (3D, SF1, SF2, or RTK). If using a GPS receiver other than a StarFire, the text 3D GPS will be displayed but the indicator bar will not fill.

NOTE: AutoTrac SF1 must have a GPS accuracy level of SF1 and AutoTrac SF2 must have a GPS accuracy of SF2 or RTK.

Steer On/Off—The Steer On/Off button transitions AutoTrac from being disabled to an enabled mode.

Shift Track—Shift track is used to adjust position of machine left, center or right of set track. Shift track can be used to compensate for GPS drift. Drift is inherent to any satellite-based, differentially corrected GPS system.
