AutoTile can make tiling much easier by creating a sophisticated target profile that hugs the topography
of the ground at a selected depth. AutoTile requires that a survey is taken, which records the soil
elevation profile, before installing tile. The profile is created by driving over the path where the tile will be
installed with the Intellislope system in Surveying Mode. The profile is used to create the target profile for
tile installation.

Surveys may be conducted prior to installation. This allows the flexibility of performing surveys with other
vehicles such as ATVs, trucks or utility tractors. The survey log can be saved on a USB drive and
transfered to a different vehicle or display for installation. Ensure that the GPS antenna is securely
mounted, and that the Antenna Distance To Ground entered in the Machine Setup screen is correct.
Survey logs record the elevation of the ground based on this setting. The log will reflect the setting at the
time the survey was made. Any change to the Antenna Distance To Ground setting will not take effect
until the next survey is performed.
It is also strongly recommended that if doing a survey days prior to installation that the GPS Base station
is not moved, or is reset in exactly the same location as when the survey was collected. Failure to have
the base in the same location can render the surveys inaccurate, requiring them to be redone.
