Selecting a guidance mode
The guidance mode determines how the guidance lines are applied and how these run over the field.
Procedure
The following guidance modes are available:
- ▪
- Parallel guidance mode
- This guidance mode allows you to work the field in parallel, straight lines.
- ▪
- "A+" guidance mode
- This guidance mode allows you to manually input the geographical direction in which the guidance lines should be laid. To do this, simply input the direction in degrees (between 0° and 360°), and the guidance lines are automatically laid, parallel to each other.
- ▪
- "Smoothed contour" guidance mode
- In "Smoothed contour" guidance mode, the the curvature of each guidance line curve is altered to straighten the guidance line as you move across the field. The guidance lines are straight in the direction of travel.
- ▪
- "Identical contour" guidance mode
- In identical contour guidance mode, there is no variation in the curvature. Only use this mode for gentle curves.
- The disadvantage of this guidance mode is that the distance between the guidance lines will eventually become too large. It will then no longer be possible to apply the product onto the field accurately using the path to path process.
- If you notice excessive distances between the guidance lines, delete the guidance lines and create a new A-B guidance line.
- ▪
- "Multi A-B" guidance mode
- This guidance mode allows you to lay out up to five AB lines. For example, in order to be able to treat an L-shaped field.
- ▪
- "Multi smoothed contours" guidance mode
- This guidance mode allows you to lay out up to five AB lines as smoothed contours.
- ▪
- "Circle" guidance mode
- This guidance mode allows you to lay out circular guidance lines in order to treat fields which are equipped with circular irrigation equipment.
- ▪
- "Adaptive contour(s) manual" guidance mode
- In this guidance mode, the path of the vehicle is recorded during each crossing. The next guidance line is only laid out after a turn. This will be an exact copy of the last crossing.
- You must press a button before each turn.
- ▪
- "Adaptive contour(s) auto" guidance mode
- This mode functions in the same way as "Adaptive contour(s) manual", but the terminal automatically recognizes that you are turning.
