PFadvantage GPS Setup
Ag Leader Technology All Modes
September 2003 2-19
Introduction The GPS 4100 and GPS 1000 require no initial setup to begin fieldwork.
The PFadvantage 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 Operator’s manual for instructions.
The following provides information to change factory settings on the
GPS 4100 using the PFadvantage interface (changing GPS 1000 setting
requires the use of the GPS 1000 Utilities desktop software program.)
General
Information Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) differential correction is an
alternative to subscription based satellite differential correction.
IMPORTANT: WAAS is currently free of charge, and is
being funded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
WAAS is currently in test mode, and Ag Leader Technology
can not guarantee the availability or quality of its position
signals. Only two (2) WAAS satellites are currently covering
North America.
The following provides information to change factory settings on the
GPS 4100.
