Slingshot® Universal Terminal Overview
3.
Select the Radio Link tab. The following options and settings are presented.
Connection Point
Calibrates the RS Lite for the types of radio data to transmit and receive during autonomous
operation.
Radio Channel
Set the radio channel for autonomous vehicle operations. The radio channel may be set
between 1 and 18 and must be set to the same value for each vehicle operating as part of
the autonomous system.
Interference on channels will vary by location and other radio communication in the area. If
too much interference is present, the system may encounter frequent communication or link
errors. If this occurs, change the radio channel for each radio in the system to find a channel
with less interference.
Radio Tx (Transmit) Power
The radio signal power to transmit to other radios in the autonomous system. The value
must be between 10 and 30.
Lower values typically offer better results for near proximity (e.g. syncing with the combine,
smaller fields, etc.). Higher values may be required to transmit across larger fields or through
tree lines, but may cause more interference when machines are operating close together.
