Measurement Best Practises
· Measure as if vehicle and device are in a straight-line and in the operating
position. · Device dimensions may shift when in operation. Measure implement
when engaged with the ground to achieve the best accuracy.
· Hold tape measure plumb or level in vertical or horizontal directions. ·
Measure to the centre of the antenna. · Sections are numbered from left to
right while facing in the machine’s forward direction. · Lateral left/right
direction is determined while facing in the machine’s forward direction.
Terminology Notes
· Vehicle Pivot Point the centre of the vehicle’s non-steering axle
Example: the centre of the rear axle for a front steering vehicle
· Hitch Point / Hitch/Connection Point the point where the implement
connects to the machine or the pivot point between implement and machine
depending on Hitch Type Not all vehicles have hitch points. On these
vehicles, the Hitch Point and the Vehicle Pivot Point will be the same point
and the value should be entered as 0 cm. · Guidance Width the width between
guidelines
May be different than the Application Width or Working Width (total width of
all sections).

Straight AB Guidance
Straight AB guidance provides straight-line guidance based on A and B
reference points. The original A and B points are used to calculate all other
parallel guidelines.
Azimuth Guidance
Azimuth guidance provides straight-line guidance based on a horizontal angle
measured clockwise from a true north baseline. When using an azimuth, the
point from which the azimuth originates is the centre of an imaginary circle.
North = 0°, East = 90°, South = 180°, West = 270°. Azimuth Degree guidance
projects a guideline between the current vehicle position (the A point) and a
B point set 100 metres away along the entered azimuth heading.
Dynamic Adaptive AB Guidance
Dynamic Adaptive AB guidance provides guidance along a curved line based on an
initial AB reference line where each adjacent guideline is drawn from the
projected guidance width and heading. Dynamic Adaptive AB Guidance includes a
detour option which allows a variation of the guideline to be created then
either connected back to the original guideline or finished, creating a new B
point of the original guideline. A minimum distance of 2 metres must be
travelled before a detour can be started. A minimum of 50 metres must be
travelled before a detour can be finished.
Circle Pivot Guidance
Circle Pivot guidance provides guidance around a central location that
radiates inward or outward based on an initial AB reference line. This initial
baseline is used to calculate all other guidelines. It is used for product
application in a centre pivot field while being guided along a circular
guideline that matches a centre pivot irrigation system radius.
No Guidance
No guidance* turns off guidance. NOTE: No guidance mode does not delete
established guide lines or points from the console. To delete
established/saved
data from the console, see “Data management” in the System setup chapter.
NOTE: Offset to adjacent guidelines will be calculated using the guidance
width, see “Settings-> Guidance and Mapping” for established
