Within this same nearly perpendicular angular alignment, the offset LED’s are displayed using
a special pattern. This pattern indicates the distance from (or to) the selected swath line.
Since the machine alignment is perpendicular to the swath line, this distance is an along track
distance indication. The offset LED’s usually indicate across track distance. The along track
display pattern is different from the across track display to prevent confusion. Along track
distance intervals for this special offset display pattern are percentages of the swath width
(SWW) as shown in the table below.
During turn maneuvers at the end of each swath, the machine operator can use these special
angle and offset distance displays to determine the approximate location and orientation of
the previous and/or next swath line. This aids in smoothly setting up for alignment at the
beginning the new swath.
When returning from a ‘Saved Position’ and driving down the side of the field, two elements of
the along track offset pattern will begin to move toward each other, one half of the swath width
distance away from the return swath line. This aids in locating the entrance line back into the
field.
The
Special Offset and Angle Display may be turned OFF. In the SYS Configuration Menu,
set DSP to CFG (i.e. Light Bar Display options can be configured). Then in the DSP Config-
uration Menu, set SPL to OFF.
