A projected swath path graphic is displayed in the text display area of the lightbar.

  • Page 37: Straight-Line Guidance

    The CenterLine software detects which guideline is the closest to the center line of the vehicle and provides guidance information with respect to that line. As the vehicle travels across the field, new guidelines parallel to the reference guideline are established based on the swath width value entered during guidance setup.

    Figure 3-14: Applied Area Detection Neighboring Swath Detection Applied area detection also notifies the operator when the vehicle crossed into a previously applied neighboring swath. Figure 3-15 illustrates an example on an applied area overlap. The vehicle can overlap up to 25% of the swath width without notification. Once the edge of the vehicle overlaps the neighboring swath by 25% or more, the lightbar will display <APPLIED>.
