Virtual Terminal (Vt) Or Universal Terminal (Ut); Introduction - Case IH AFS Pro 700 Software Operating Manual

6 - VIRTUAL TERMINAL (VT) OR UNIVERSAL TERMINAL
(UT)

Introduction

The "Virtual Terminal" application serves as a Universal Terminal (UT) for ISO 11783 (ISOBUS) implements or working
tools.
NOTE: See http://www.aef-online.org/ for more information about the ISO 11783 standard.
The "Virtual Terminal" application runs in the AFS Pro 700 display along with any other installed applications – e.g.,
the vehicle software, "Precision Farming," "Autoguidance," "Task Controller," etc. This means that an operator only
requires a single display for vehicle reporting, vehicle control, guidance, and UT functionalities.
NOTE: This manual uses the term "Virtual Terminal" or "VT" for direct references to the software application that runs
on the AFS Pro 700 display and uses the term "Universal Terminal" or "UT" for general references to the functionality
described in the ISO 11783 standard.
This chapter explains:
• how to perform basic setup operations for the "Virtual Terminal" application with the "Toolbox" screens
• how the software for an implement or working tool may operate within the display
• the "Run" screen windows that the "Virtual Terminal" application provides
• the purpose of the "Object Browser," "NVM Browser," "CAN Counters," and "About VT" screens
When you use the "Virtual Terminal"
application as the UT for an ISOBUS
implement or tool, the AFS Pro 700 display
receives its control and reporting functions
from the implement or tool.
The implement or tool uploads its objects, windows, and
screens to the display.
Setup requirements for the "Virtual Terminal" application
are minimal in most cases:
• You must enable the "Virtual Terminal" application and
provide basic information about your configuration on
the "VT Setups" screen.
• You must set units of measurement for the ISOBUS
software on the "VT Preferences" screen.
• Some software applications that use the vehicle's con-
trols – cab switches, levers, etc. – require you to map
the functions of the implement or working tool to these
cab controls on the "Auxiliary Controls" screen.
