Implement setup and selection
Before you use the FM-1000 integrated display with the TrueGuide system, set up and select a new
or existing implement. Update appropriate existing (saved) implements with implement geometry
to support TrueGuide guidance.
Geometry tab for implement setup
When configuring an implement for the TrueGuide system, the following antenna offsets are
required in the set up of the implement. Antenna offsets are provided when the antenna cannot be
placed directly over the working point of the implement. These offsets should be minimized
whenever possible.
Offset Explanation
Antenna Front / Back
Offset
The offset from for a GPS antenna mounted on the implement.
Measure from the point the implement touches the soil
(implement's working point) to the center of the GPS antenna.
This setting ensures your position in relation to GPS is accurate.
Note –
For the
TrueGuide system (page 268)
, if an offset is required, enter
the left/right offset first. The front offset should not exceed 1m (40").
TrueGuide does not allow back offsets.
Antenna Left/Right Offset
The offset for a GPS antenna mounted on the implement. Measure
from the center of the implement to the center of the GPS antenna.
This setting ensures your position in relation to GPS is accurate.
Note –
For the
TrueGuide system (page 268)
, if an offset is required, enter
the left/right offset first. Set to a forward distance of 2m (80") or less.
Antenna Height
The height of the GPS antenna from the ground.
This setting ensures your position in relation to GPS is accurate.
