CenterLine Real-Time Operation
Real-time Operation
Real-time guidance begins when <NEW?> or <RESUME?> is selected. At this point, the GPS receiver should
be properly connected to the CenterLine lightbar and running. See Figures 7-9 for diagrams showing how the
DGPS receiver should be connected. The default guidance mode is Straight-Line Guidance and the current
guidance mode is displayed in reverse video. The current guideline information is stored in memory, along
with the field’s trajectory data, is lost when <NEW?> is selected, and retained when <RESUME?> is selected.
Only information for a single guideline is stored. While in Headland mode, A and B points can be marked for
Straight-Line or Curved AB guidance.
Real-time Menu
During real-time operation, a real-time menu (See Figure 41 on page 36) is available that allows
you to switch between guidance patterns, mark A and B points for straight-line or Curved AB guid-
ance, start a new A-B line, and exit. The real-time menu is accessed by pressing Up or Down dur-
ing guidance operation. When either of these keys is pressed, the guidance messages displayed
in the text window are replaced by the real-time menu (See Figure 41 on page 36). Use Up and
Down to scroll through the menu and press Enter to select an item. The real-time menu times out
when 5 seconds have passed and no arrow keys have been pressed.
Apply On/Off
If no switchbox or boom sense cable is being used and the <GUIDANCE><STATUS> setting (See
“Status” on page 21) is set to off, Apply On/Off information must be provided to the CenterLine sys-
tem manually. To toggle the Apply On/Off status, scroll the real-time menu (See Figure 41 on
page 36) until <Apply on> or <Apply off> appears in the text window. Pressing Enter switches to
the status displayed.
NOTE: This does not turn the application on and off. It only notifies the CenterLine system
of the application status. <Apply on> and <Apply off> do not appear if <GUIDANCE><STA-
TUS> is set to ON.
