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.
