1. Population Monitor rate does not match GP Controller Console
• Make certain that SiteMate and GP Controller Console agree. If not, see Troubleshooting
Step 4 above.
• Re-check GP calibration number with metering wheel and row spacing.
• Re-check planter monitor settings: calibration number, row spacing, number of rows, swath
width, seed, etc.
• On small seeds and/or high rates, if population monitor consistently indicated a lower popu-
lation than the GP Controller Console, contact monitor manufacturer for performance specs
for that application.
2. GPS signal is not being received by SiteMate
• Verify that GPS serial port (which is also the docking port) is not set to PC connection only
(Start/Settings/Communications/PC Connections).
• Check GPS settings in Configure/Settings/GPS settings/COM (typically COM 1, 4800 Baud,
8 data bits, Parity None, and Stop Bits 1).
• Click Data tab to view GPS details.
