CenterLine
Software Version 1.05
Real-time Operation
When <NEW?> or <RESUME?> is selected, real-time guidance begins. At this point, the GPS receiver
should be properly connected to the CenterLine lightbar and running.
See —CenterLine Product Kits“ on
page 9 - 12 for diagrams showing how the DGPS receiver should be connected. The default guid-
ance mode is Straight-Line Guidance (See note below). The current guideline information is stored, along
with the field‘s trajectory data, and 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 guidance.
NOTE: When the display shows <HEADLAND?>, it is asking if you want to switch to Headland mode
from Straight-Line. When the display shows <STRAIGHT?>, it is asking if you want to switch to
Straight-Line mode from Headland.
Real-time Menu
During real-time operation, a real-time menu (See Figure 30 on page 29) is available that allows
you to switch between guidance patterns, mark A and B points for straight-line guidance, start a
new A-B line, and exit. The real-time menu is accessed by pressing Up or Down during guidance
operation. When either of these keys is pressed, the guidance messages displayed in the text win-
dow are replaced by the real-time menu (See Figure 30 on page 29). Use Up and Down to scroll
through the menu and press Enter to select an item. The real-time menu times out when 5 sec-
onds 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 17) 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 30 on
page 29) 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.
Marking A and B Locations
The Straight-line guidance mode requires a reference guideline to guide the vehicle along. Estab-
lishing a guideline involves marking two points along the reference guideline. To establish this ref-
erence guideline using the real-time menu, use Up or Down to scroll in the menu until <NEW
AB?> is displayed on the lightbar (See Figure 31), and press Enter. The menu item <MARK A> is
displayed. Mark the A location by pressing Enter when the desired location is passed. The menu
item <MARK B> is now displayed. To mark the B location, press Enter when the desired location is
passed. The reference guideline is now established and the lightbar should display <NEW AB?>.
