LINE ACQUISITION (LA) MODE AND AGGRESSIVENESS
NOTE: The speed of the LA mode is often limited by the speed of the machine’s hydraulic and steering
system. Increasing the LA value at the maximum vehicle speed may degrade performance of the
SmarTrax system.
FIGURE 29. LA Mode
NOTE: The screen in the figure above illustrates an example of a situation in which SmarTrax MD is operating
in LA mode. This mode will remain active until the machine steers within 24 inches [60 cm] of the
displayed guidance line.
The LA Aggressiveness value affects how quickly the machine steers toward a displayed guidance line when it is
traveling further than 24 inches [60 cm] from the desired path. If the machine does not approach the guidance line
as quickly as desired, increase the LA Aggressiveness value one increment at a time, allowing SmarTrax MD at least
30 seconds between adjustments to adjust to the change in the value.
Setting the LA Aggressiveness value too high may cause the machine to steer into the guidance line too quickly
and weave around the guidance line. Lowering the value in these situations will allow the machine to settle on the
line.
Is there a new
screen?
