CenterLine Real-Time Operation
Area Determination
The area of the current job or field is important information. CenterLine allows the determination of
the area of a field by driving the perimeter of the field. This can be conveniently done while driving
the first headland circuit in Headland mode.
To determine the area of a field, scroll the real-time menu until <AREA> is displayed (See
Figure 34 on page 35) and Press Enter. The lightbar displays <LEFT> or <RIGHT>. Using Up or
Down, select the side of the swath or implement that is closest to the field boundary. Press Enter
to start area calculation. The lightbar displays <! Map BND> or <Map BND #
>
. When ready to
close the boundary, scroll the real-time menu (Figure 32) until <CLOSE> is displayed. Press Enter
to close the boundary and determine the area. Pressing <CLOSE> inserts a line between the start-
ing location and the current location and uses that shape to determine area.
The area is automatically determined when the vehicle drives within 4.5 meters (15 feet) of the
starting point.
The bounded area is displayed on the lightbar as a part of the guidance message stream for three
minutes and when stopped in an “applied” area.
If a bounded area has already been determined, the <VIEW> menu item is present. Pressing
Enter at the <VIEW> level displays the current bounded area value.
