The higher Heading Tuning is set, the louder Heading talks to Steering and the tighter it tries to keep
the tractor’s heading tolerance. Lowering Heading Tuning lowers the volume at which Heading talks
to Steering and loosens the tractor’s heading tolerance. Heading Tuning should be set as high as
possible so that the tractor does not oscillate or wander across the AB Line.
See figure 9 for an example of the desired behavior. The vehicle behavior and the tuning graph
information should be used to determine whether to increase or decrease a parameters value.
• Heading’s Simple Analogy: The Heading Tuning setting could be viewed as the volume at which
Heading speaks to Steering.
‐ Too High: If Heading speaks “too loudly” to Steering, Steering over responds to Heading’s
commands and the tractor oscillates across the AB Line. Heading Tuning is set too high and should
be lowered.
‐ Ideal: If Heading speaks at the “ideal volume” to Steering, Steering responds just right to
Heading’s commands, and the tractor does not oscillate or wander across the AB Line. Heading
Tuning is set correctly.
‐ Too Low: If Heading speaks “too softly” to Steering, Steering is not responsive enough to
Heading’s command and the tractor wanders across the AB Line. Heading Tuning is set too low
and should be increased.
