To determine an accurate reference point between the GPS receiver and
Auto Section Control, four distance positions are required:
• Distance from the GPS receiver antenna to the front axle center
position
• Distance from front axle center to pivot point
• Distance from pivot point to rear axle center
• Distance from rear axle center to implement hitch
To enter GPS Setup:
1. At the Auto Section Control screen, press the System Setup button.
2. At the System Setup screen, press the GPS Setup button.
3. Select the GPS Source as RS232 or CAN.
4. GPS lag time should only be entered after a calibration is performed.

the GPS receiver. Reference the GPS receiver manual for settings.

NEMA 2000 format. This allows a GPS signal over CAN and available
for use by the IntelliAg virtual terminal.
