PFadvantage Cotton Yield Monitor
Ag Leader Technology GPS Setup
September 2005 2-29
Introduction The integrated GPS of the PFadvantage Cotton Yield Monitor requires
no initial setup to begin fieldwork. The PFadvantage Cotton Yield
Monitor will display a “D” or “G” on the top right hand corner of the
display to indicate a GPS signal. A “D” indicates that you have a
differential signal. A “G” indicates that you have a GPS signal and you
GPS receiver are tracking four or more satellites. A lower case “g”
indicates that you have a GPS signal but your GPS receiver is tracking
only three satellites. Your GPS receiver must track four or more
satellites to get an elevation reading. You may wish to use the GPS to
show your ground speed, which requires changing the ground speed
sensor settings. Refer to Primary and Secondary Speed Sensor under
Vehicle Setup in the PFadvantage Cotton Yield Monitor Operator’s
manual for instructions.
The following provides information to change factory settings on the
integrated GPS:
Beacon Selection The settings for beacon selection are Auto range, Auto Power and
Manual.
•
Auto Range: This is the default setting. In this setting the receiver
keeps a record of the closest three beacons within the receivers range.
It then selects a beacon based on the ranking of the beacon in memory.
•
Auto Power: The receiver keeps a record of the three strongest
beacons in its range. It then selects a beacon based on the ranking of
the available beacons.
•
Manual: Allows you to input frequencies for two beacons.
