GPS CALIBRATION
A GPS calibration test should be performed to determine the GPS lag time
that occurs between the Auto Section Control system and the GPS receiver.
IMPORTANT: The most accurate calibration test is to drive over a fixed
reference line that can visually be seen from the cab
versus driving past an object.
1. Place a fixed reference line in the field to drive over, such as a rope or
painted line.
2. Drive until the front tires are sitting on the reference line.
3. At the System Setup screen, press the GPS Setup button.
4. At the GPS Setup screen, press the Calibration button.
5. With ground speed at 0, press the Set Reference button.
IMPORTANT: Ground speed must be 0 for the Set Reference button to
appear.
