Bechmark steps
1.
Place the GPS antenna in a known, repeatable location that will not change throughout the
leveling of a field.
Tip – Mark this location with flags or some other marker so that you can return to the exact spot.
2. Stop the vehicle.
3.
On the WM-Survey tab, tap Bench.
Note – If FieldLevel II is installed, you can tap Bench on that instead. Both Bench buttons have the same
effect.
A countdown timer runs for 30 seconds and then the system creates the benchmark. To stop
the averaging during the countdown, tap Bench again.
Note – If you are within the circle around an existing benchmark, a new mark is not created.
Survey the field
After you create the benchmark(s), collect field layout data by conducting a survey.
Define the boundary
Define a boundary to establish the confines of your field. Drive around the boundary while you
record the shape.
1.
At the Run screen, tap to open the Survey/Design panel.
2.
Before driving the boundary, select the reference point you want to use for recording the
boundary.
ll Center:Records the boundary based on the location of the antenna.
l Left: Records the boundary offset half of the implement width to the left of the direction of
travel.
l Right: Records the boundary offset half of the implement width to the right of the
direction of travel.
3. Select Boundary from the list.
4. Tap Record.
5. Drive the boundary while recording. The boundary records with a line showing it begins and
ends at the starting point. (The boundary is a complete loop.)
6. After you have driven to the end of the boundary, tap Record again.
