A service is a subscription to an application that lasts for a specific amount of time, such as one or
two years. You associate a service with a specific display that can be delivered wirelessly, through a
QRcode included in an email or through download to a computer.
Signal Input Module
The signal input module (SIM) can interface with existing equipment inputs to control on-screen
buttons and features.
Singulation
The percentage of time an individual seed is placed for every intended drop.
Slew time
The amount of time that the front wheels take to move from the far left to the far right position and
back.
Slope heading
The heading direction of the slope.
Steering deadzone
The amount of pressure that the system must apply to the hydraulics before the wheels begin to
turn.
Stop bit
A bit sent at the end of every character to enable the detection of the end of the character. Then the
hardware can synchronize again with the character stream.
T
TAP
Tuning parameter for guidance algorithms.
Target height
Height on the target plane that the blade will attempt to reach. This is the design height (6) ± the
offset (5). When the blade reaches the target height, the height indicator arrow turns green.
Terrain compensation
Terrain compensation calculates the difference between the GPS antenna’s location and the desired
position of the vehicle’s center point on the ground, no matter what slope the vehicle is on.
With this information, the system can tell the difference between a bump and a slope and
compensate the position of the vehicle accordingly. When the sensors are mounted on the pitch
axis they are used to compensate the vehicles position when driving up or down a slope/hill.
Additionally when mounted on the yaw axis the sensors are used to compensate for crabbing which
is caused by steering up the slope constantly, to keep the vehicle in a straight line.
Turn radius - implement
How sharp the vehicle can turn with an implement attached. To determine this radius, measure the
diameter of the turn and divide that number by two.
Turn radius - vehicle
How sharp the vehicle can turn without applying the brakes. To determine this radius, measure the
diameter of the turn and divide that number by two.
