Page 19: Keypads
Because ISO 11783 implements upload their own soft- ware to the display, the character sets on the alphanu- meric keypad may vary between your Case IH farming software and software that is loaded into the “VT” appli- cation (virtual terminal).
Page 20 2 - ICONS AND WINDOWS Some applications support both alphanumeric keypads and numeric keypads. The selected window determines which keypad is appropriate for the operator to input the required information. Use both uppercase and lowercase letters when creating entries to improve readability on the display. RCIL11DSP093BBG Applications customize the numeric keypads as well.
Page 21 2 - ICONS AND WINDOWS Keypad access Whenever a keypad is needed to enter a name or value, the keypad is displayed when the operator presses: • "New" or "Edit" on a pop-up options windows • A numeric field – a field that only accepts a numeric value.
Page 22 2 - ICONS AND WINDOWS Input errors Text entry windows are limited in length to a maximum of 18 characters. The keypad does not accept any additional characters when this limit is reached.

Page 87 3 - SETUP “Farm” and “Field” To the display and the desktop software, a farm is a large geographical entity that is composed of smaller entities called fields. All crop production tasks occur within a field that is defined by GPS coordinates. As such, all crop production tasks are linked to a field, and the field is linked to a farm.
Page 88 3 - SETUP Operating notes A farm cannot be created or selected until the “Grower” window is populated. An instructional message displays if the action is attempted.

Page 216 3 - SETUP When viewed on a work map, the open obstacle appears as an amber line that follows the path of the vehicle. The exact path that the vehicle travels is recorded as the ob- stacle. An open obstacle must also be completed by the operator. To close the obstacle, press the “Stop”...
Page 217 3 - SETUP “Pause” button The “Pause” button is useful for any section of a closed or open obstacle that can be defined by a straight line segment. Any distance traveled, while obstacle recording is paused, is automatically joined by a straight line when recording is resumed.
Page 218 3 - SETUP “Cancel” button Press the “Cancel” button to exit obstacle recording at any time. This action deletes the recording in progress from display memory and the memory stick.

Page 221: Field Marks
3 - SETUP Field marks Use the “Field Marks 1-2” and “Field Marks 3-4” windows to mark GPS locations in a field during farming opera- tions. The locations marked are field or crop conditions that require additional attention at some future time. This function requires that the vehicle is equipped with a GPS receiver.
Page 222 3 - SETUP When pressed, a latching “Field Mark” button highlights and remains active until pressed again. The button records continuous symbols to the map and saves them with the data as long as the button remains latched. A “Field Mark” icon displays in the status and warning icon area as a reminder that the button must be unlatched at some appropriate moment.

Page 227 3 - SETUP Map sizes Coverage map: 1 x 4 example Four different work map windows – “Map 1 x 4,” “Map 2 x 3,” “Map 2 x 4,” and “Map 2 x 5” – are available for the “Run” screens. The map windows differ in size, but not in function.
Page 228 3 - SETUP When the “Map 1 x 4” window is in the left-hand area and a Coverage map: 2 x 4 example larger map window is on a “Run” screen, the “Run” screen has priority. When the “Run” screen with the larger map is viewed, the map only appears on the “Run”...
Page 229 3 - SETUP Since the layout of the “Run” screens may also be cus- tomized, map size is dynamic: the map fills the area that is allocated to it. Any “Run” screen may be laid out in 2 columns by 4 rows, 2 columns by 5 rows, or 2 columns by 6 rows.
Page 230 3 - SETUP “Data Type” “Coverage” is the default data type that is common to all applications on the display. “Coverage” shows the path of the vehicle (with its implement or header) through the field when work mode is detected. The other available data types depend on both the vehicle and the application that is in use: •...
Page 231 3 - SETUP A yield map for the selected field represents harvest re- sults with different colors. Each color indicates a range of yield per area – ton/ha (bu/ac). RCIL11DSP259BBG A performance map for the selected field represents fuel economy with different colors. Each color indicates a range of fuel usage per area –...
Page 232 3 - SETUP Vehicle location and heading If the vehicle is within the selected field, an arrow indicates the vehicle's location and direction of travel. If the vehicle is outside the selected field, no arrow is present (if the zoom level is set to “Field”). How the vehicle is shown in relationship to the field de- pends on the zoom settings.
Page 233 3 - SETUP With “Auto” selected, the map zooms to the extent of the current vehicle location within the selected field. As the vehicle moves, the map scales dynamically to keep the vehicle and field in the map window. As the field size increases, the map scale decreases.
Page 234 3 - SETUP With “Pan” selected, the “Plus” and “Minus” buttons ap- pear in the map window and have the same function as they do in manual mode. In addition, the operator can press a location on the map to pan away from the vehicle to that location.

Page 241 3 - SETUP “Obstacles” User-defined field obstacles appear on the work map, when enabled, along with the other active map layers. NOTE: Even if an operator chooses not to display obsta- cles, the display still warns the operator if the path of the vehicle (with its implement or header) will contact the ob- stacle.

Page 244: Swath Map
3 - SETUP Swath map The swath map is a single-layer map that shows swath alignment (overlap and skip) and can be used to align the vehicle to the next swath. Map sizes “Swath Map 1 x 4” example Two different swath map windows – “Swath Map 1 x 4” and “Swath Map 2 x 5”...
Page 245 3 - SETUP Vehicle A generic symbol for the vehicle type – tractor, combine, sprayer, etc – represents the vehicle in the swath map. The map always offers a zoomed-in view of the current position of the vehicle in relation to the two swaths on either side of the vehicle.
Page 246 3 - SETUP View angles The swath map offers three view angles: 20 °, 45 ° and 90 °. The angles provide different perspectives of the ve- hicle relative to the horizon when an observer views the vehicle from behind. RCIL11DSP256BBG A 90 °...
Page 247 3 - SETUP A 20 ° view angle (green) means the observer is viewing the vehicle at a 20 ° downward angle toward the horizon. RCIL11DSP036BBG Press the “View Angle” button on the map window to ac- cess the pop-up options window. Press the desired setting to change the map view angle and close the window.
Page 248 3 - SETUP Map contents If the vehicle is working, the swath map displays the swath width for the vehicle (with its implement or header) as a green area outlined in black as the vehicle moves. If the vehicle is not working, no swath information is mapped as the vehicle moves.
Page 249 3 - SETUP Swath alignment The swath map can reveal problems with swath alignment as in this example where the vehicle offset values were not entered correctly. A pattern of overlap in one pass, followed by skip in the next pass, indicates that the implement or header was not set up properly.
