Introduction
The AFS Pro 700 display can serve as the operator interface for:
• Precision planting, harvesting, and spraying
• Vehicle-specific applications – for example, yield monitoring, "as applied" or prescription planting, performance
monitoring
• AFS AccuGuide™
• The virtual terminal for vehicles, implements, and systems that conform to the ISO 11783 standard
Layered architecture
The display uses a layered software architecture to greatly
simplify the learning curve for any operator. Each layer
inherits the capabilities of the previous layer. This creates
standard resources, tools, and screens for all applications
on the display.
Framework
Shared resources, tools, and screens – the "Framework"
layer in the illustration – mean that the operator can spend
less time learning and more time using the applications on
the display.
Shared resources may be operator preferences, imple-

ment descriptions, crop types, grower-farm-field-task
structure, etc. The operator enters this information once.
The information is then available in any application on
the display, even if the operator moves the display to a
different vehicle.
Standard pop-up keypads and options windows are ex-
amples of shared tools. The same tools are used to create
lists, select options, and enter names or values. The op-
erator only needs to learn these tools once because they
are the same in every application on the display.
Common icons and "Home" screen organization simplify
navigation through all applications on the display.
Vehicle
Increasingly, the AFS Pro 700 display will be an opera-
tor's primary tool for interfacing with the vehicle, whether
a tractor, combine, or sprayer. On many vehicles, the op-
erator controls automated steering with the display. On
some combines today, the operator not only monitors har-
vest operations, but also controls them directly from the
display.
The vehicle uses the display to communicate its unique
control and monitoring needs to the operator, while offer-
ing greater performance control and feedback.
