Note: It is highly recommended that items are named in a thoughtful
and structured way to allow easy use in future seasons.
3. To change the default name, select IMPLEMENT NAME and
enter the new name, then confirm.
7.3. Setting the implement geometry
Sets the implement measurements so that guidance can work accurately.
Note: Measure the implement dimensions as accurately as possible.
The recommended tolerance is +/- 5 cm.
To set the implement geometry:
1.
Select Implement / Geometry . Also, the Implement
Geometry screen displays automatically when an implement is
created or selected.
2. Select an implement dimension.
Dimensions requested vary according to the type of implement
selected.
3. Add or adjust dimensions where needed and confirm.
The following lists measurements used in the system:
l Swath Width: Measures the working width of the implement (that
is, the width of the area that is treated during one pass of the
implement).
l Working Length: Length from the start to the finish of the
working area of the boom. Together with swath width, it defines the
‘Working Area’, which is the region that product is applied over for
that boom.
l Overlap: Measures the width of the overlap between two adjacent
passes.
l Implement Offset: Measures the distance between the hitch point
and the wheels of the implement.
l Implement Wheels Offset: Measures the distance between the
wheels and the working area of the implement.
