    2 Displays and operating elements 2.1 Coloured softkeys Softkeys are displayed according to the equipment and configuration of the ma- chine. Various functions can be enabled or disabled with the softkeys. Some softkeys change the possible switching function with the operating condition. Enabled or selected softkeys are shaded green.

  • Page 11: Colour Displays

    3 Colour displays NOTE The colour bars provide a fast and helpful overview of the drilling quality. Because colour changes are noticed more quickly than numerical values reactions to changes are quicker. Green bar Green shows data and values in the tolerance range. The tolerance values are determined in the input screens by the operator and must be complied with to ensure successful placement of seed.
