CenterLine Real-Time Operation
Straight-line Guidance Operation
The Straight-line guidance mode provides vehicle guidance along straight lines, based on a refer-
ence guideline. The first step is to establish the reference guideline. This reference guideline is
used to calculate all other parallel guidelines. See “Marking A and B Locations” on page 34 for
more detail on how to establish a reference guideline.
To mark the initial point A, begin driving along the first swath path. Typically this is along a straight
edge of a field boundary. While the vehicle is driving along the initial swath, the lightbar displays
<MARK A>. As the vehicle passes over the desired A location, press Enter to establish the guide-
line point A.
The lightbar now displays <MARK B>. The next step is to establish guideline point B. To do this,
press Enter as the vehicle passes over the desired B location. This establishes the reference
guideline. The lightbar starts displaying X-Track guidance information as well as any user selected
messages defined in Lightbar setup (See “Lightbar Setup” on page 21). If the vehicle is too far
from the previously applied area to determine guidance information, a “Hollow” path is displayed
(See Figure 43 on page 42).
When the reference guideline is established, the operator can begin driving straight-line guidance.
The CenterLine software detects which guideline is closest to the centerline of the vehicle and pro-
vides guidance information with respect to that line. As the vehicle moves across the field (Figure
44) new guidelines, parallel to the reference guideline, are established based on the swath width
value entered in Guidance setup.
