Parameter
 
Name
Name of the virtual job computer.
 
 
External Controller
If you have connected an on-board integrated display/controller or crop protection sensor to the serial interface, you must select the model in this parameter.
The list contains the following devices:
On-board integrated display/controllers that can communicate using one of the protocols ASD or LH5000 and are capable of communicating with the terminal. If you want to connect an on-board integrated display/controller that supports this protocol, but does not appear in the list, please contact Müller-Elektronik and perform the steps shown at the end of this section.
Crop protection sensors that can be connected to the serial interface of the terminal.
AMABUS. Please note that to connect the AMABUS, you need a special cable, item number: 30322572
 
 
 
Procedure
 
 
This is how you update the list of on-board integrated display/controllers:
þ
You have contacted Müller-Elektronik and received a USB memory device with the installation file.
þ
The Virtual ECU application is closed.
1.
Insert the USB memory device into the terminal.
2.
Start the Virtual ECU application.
The following message appears: Do you want to update the list of external on-board integrated display/controllers?
3.
Select “Yes” to update the list.
4.
Confirm.
5.
Restart the terminal.
You can now also select the added on-board integrated display/controller.
 
 
 
Implement type
Use this parameter to define the type of implement.
The following implement types are available:
Seeder
Fertilizer spreader
Sprayer
Soil tillage
 
 
Connector type
Use this parameter to define the connector type of the agricultural implement.
 
The following connector types are possible:
Unknown
Drawbar
3-point hitch mounted
3-point hitch semi-mounted
Hitch hook
Clevis coupling
Piton-type coupling
CUNA hitch
Ball-type hitch
 
 
 
Machine model
 
This parameter influences how the working bar follows the arrow in TRACK-Leader. The configuration improves the precision of the recording of applied areas in curves.
After each change, you also need to adjust the geometry.
 
 
Possible values:
 
 
“mounted”
 
Setting for implements that are mounted on the tractor three-point hitch.
“trailed”
 
Settings for implements trailed by a tractor. The working bar is guided like a trailer behind a tractor.
 
 
 
Working width
This parameter shows the working width set for an implement.
 
 
Number of sections
Enter the number of sections that can be switched off on the implement. On a field sprayer, they are the section valves; on a fertilizer spreader or a planter/seeder, they can be e.g. metering units.
This parameter serves to transmit the proper number of sections to the SECTION-View module, so that you can switch the sections manually.
Each section appears as part of the working bar on the screen.
 
 
Sections
Opens a screen where you can enter the width of the individual sections on the implement.
 
 
Geometry
 
The geometry contains a series of dimensions that help to properly display the vehicle-implement combination in TRACK-Leader and determine its position.
 
 
To call up the geometry, tap the function icon:
Calls up the machine geometry.
 
 
Screen for entering the geometry for different machine models
A
Mounted:
Distance between the coupling point and the work point of the machine.
Trailed:
Distance between the coupling point and the pivot point of the machine.
For single-axle trailers, the pivot point is located at the centre of the axle, for tandem trailers between two axles. For planters/seeders, cultivators and other soil tillage implements, the pivot point must be determined individually.
B
Mounted:
Not available
Trailed:
Distance between the pivot point of the machine and the work point.
C
Only for spreaders: Working Length
D
Lateral offset
If the mounted implement is offset to the left in the direction of travel, enter a negative value. For example: - 50 cm.

TRAMLINE-View
 
TRAMLINE-View contains parameters that are used to correctly display tramlines in TRACK-Leader when using seeders.
To use TRAMLINE-View, the “TRAMLINE-Management” license must be activated.
 
 
To call up TRAMLINE-View, tap the function icon:
 Tramline View
Calls up TRAMLINE-View.
 
 
Parameter:
 
“Tramline rhythm”
 
Defines the tramline rhythm to be used for operation.
“Working Start”
 
Defines the point on the field at which you want to start working.
“Begin with half the working width”
 
Defines whether you make the first field track after starting to work with only half of the working width.
