Button Explanation
Logging Tap to log coverage. This shows on the map where you have
been, dependent on your implement width. A shape file is
created with cut/fill and height information.
Guide
Tap to get lightbar guidance at the current level.
Import designs
After you finish with your design, you can export a control file (.GPS) for use with the FieldLevel II
system. Copy the design control file into the \AgGPS\Designs\ folder on a USBdrive.
Reload a field
When you create a design for a field (for example, a target leveling plane), the design is saved in the
/field/ directory.
The design files are associated with the field. If you close the field and then open it again, the design
reloads with the field.
With RTK GPS, the position of the RTK base station is important to the heights used when the field
was previously open. If the base station is not accurately positioned in the same physical location,
you must reestablish the design over an existing benchmark to re-establish the height.
Re-bench
When you are leveling, you use benchmarks to:
l Return to a point in the field with known coordinates to re-calibrate your exact position. This
may include setting the bucket on the ground or on a solid surface that will not be disturbed
while you perform field leveling.
l Move the design up or down to match the field surface at that point.
Re-benching is designed to accommodate differences with RTK base station setup from the last time
the field was opened.
Manual re-bench
On the FieldLevelII panel, if you tap either of the Re-bench buttons when the receiver is within the
circular radius of a benchmark, the receiver is calibrated over the existing benchmark. Re-benching
enables you to synchronize your position with the design you created.
1.
Tap Re-Bench. A message displays showing a list of the saved benchmarks within the open field.
The system automatically selects the benchmark closest to you (if multiple benchmarks exist),
but allows you to select the benchmark you want to use.
