Aeros 9040 field computer Lateral Implement Offset Distance Adjustment Lateral implement offset distance is used to enter the distance from the centre line of the machine to the centre of the implement. When on- screen mapping shows no overlap or gap, yet field application produces an overlap or gap consistently to only one side in the direction of travel, an adjustment to the lateral implement offset distance should be calculated and made to the implement offset distance value.
Aeros 9040 field computer Lateral Implement Offset Adjustment To calculate an implement offset adjustment using adjacent guidelines: 1. Create a straight AB line. as if you were operating the implement, and place flags at the outside edges of the 2.
